Convenient Location Near the Station

short walkfresh coffeeexcellent suggestionsdated decor

The location proved very convenient, just a short walk from the train station, offering easy access after arrival. Breakfast was very nice. I appreciated the fresh coffee available each morning. The front desk provided excellent restaurant suggestions. Their recommendations were spot on. The staff was helpful with directions and local information.

The room decor seemed a bit dated. The style reminded me of the 80s. The furniture showed some wear, with minor paint issues. I would have liked to see fresher decor. The safe wasn't secured well.

The hotel is very close to the train station (it was so convenient). The staff was very friendly and offered helpful advice. The breakfast included fresh fruit, which i appreciated.

The room felt dated, reminding me of the 80s. The furniture had paint peeling off, and the floor seemed dirty. I could easily hear people next door and in the hallways (it was not ideal).
