I thought the hotel was terrible, but the most awful part is that I was paying 100 euros a night for it. I've stayed in 2 star hotels in major European cities before--Amsterdam, Paris, Geneva--and had better rooms for half the price.
My experience involved three rooms: 402, 403, and 404. We were with my parents who were in 402. We were given 403, but asked to be switched and got 404.
402: It was sparse. The only furniture was a bed, 2 night stands, and a built in closet with a bar so high my average-height mom couldn't hang her clothes up. There was no rug on the floor, and the floors were not particularly clean (the sheets and towels were clean at least). The "queen bed" was 2 twin beds pushed together. There was not even a toilet paper holder in the bathroom. The toilet is uncomfortably close to the wall.
403: The worst hotel room I've ever seen. The bathroom is arranged such that a person over 5'3" couldn't possibly find room to sit on the toilet, your knees would hit the wall. There was mold growing on the wall above the shower, lots of it. Again, the "queen bed" was 2 twins. No rug and again dirty floors. There was a desk in this room. Again, no toilet paper holder.
404: The best one out of the three, but not enjoyable to stay there. The queen bed was an actual queen. No rugs, dirty floors. Furnished more than the other rooms--bed didn't look like a prison cot, there was a place to put luggage, a wardrobe, a desk. The bathroom was not clean. It was covered in soap scum and felt slimy. The shower curtain was brown at the bottom and looked filthy. The shower doesn't drain well, and if you take a shower it's very easy to flood not only the bathroom, but half the room in the process. At least you could sit on the toilet, but again, no toilet paper holder. This room also got a lot of noise from the street.
In all the rooms, the television is extremely tiny and too high to reach by hand. A remote control will cost you a 20 euro deposit. Air conditioner cannot be controlled by the guest; you have to call the front desk and ask them to turn it on/off. There is wireless internet, though.
Staff: The staff running the front desk were extremely polite and helpful. No problem there whatsoever. The breakfast staff was very rude.
Breakfast: Pathetic. Croissant + coffee. Right next door there's a cafe that sells the same thing for 1.50 euro.
If you MUST be right by the train station, stay across the street for about 30 euro a night more. In town (and closer to attractions) much better deals can be found.
