“For a brief stay near the railway, this basic hotel emphasizes secure access and comfortable beds; rooms include tea and coffee setups, alongside shared bathrooms kept acceptably clean. Some rooms lack air conditioning, and those sensitive to noise may find it disruptive, but the staff is helpful, making it a reasonable overnight choice if you manage expectations.”
