the hotel is located a stone's throw from the train station. the interior decoration keeps the original decor very well. the food at the restaurant was AMAZING!!! the bar also had a good atmosphere.
i requested several times for the heating system to be adjusted to a comfortable level, but it was not done. the hotel intercom system is not the best, and staff seemed more attentive to the pub than hotel services.
