it was nice cheap ，but if you sleep near the door it's a bit noisy. sleeping overnight on train also help you to save one night of accommodation too.

The museum was great. It gives you that inspiring, artistic energy. There are not a lot of people when we went so you can experience the artworks better. Will definitely go back!
