It is, what it is. This is a boarding house. Nothing more, nothing less.
The location is excellent. One direction is shopping, the train station, and fine restaurants. The other direction is bars and clubs. The river is an easy walk.
I arrived after midnight and was greeted by the live in caregiver. My room was a fourth floor walk up. It was definitely dated and not remarkable. The space looks updated to the 50s. Wrinkled wallpaper, bad grout, old furniture, dingy shower and exposed pipes added to the charm. It had a bidet and lots of hot water. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of blankets. The room was cold and a space heater provided some assistance in January.
All I could think of when I walked into the space was the song “Rocky Raccoon”. It was certainly a time warp. The location is on the backside of the busy bar street. The noise went on until to five in the morning and the street was littered with beer bottles when I woke. By 8 AM everything is cleaned up.
I found a fun old man’s bar just up the street and left. It was a place where you could find euro beers that would sell for six just one street over.
If you’re looking for a low cost place just to crash and not spend time in the room, this could work for you.
