Solid stay near the railway station

friendly reception convenient location

The hotel is close to both the railway and central bus stations, very convenient. Reception staff were friendly and the room was quiet. The room itself had everything i needed (even storage for luggage on my departure day).

The hotel advertises tea and coffee in the room, but there wasn't any. The restaurant was closed for a long time, so that was a little disappointing.

Dining

The breakfast had limited options, but the location is very walkable to the city center, so you can easily find other places to eat. A local restaurant is also nearby.

Service

The staff is available 24 hours a day, great if you have a late arrival (like i did). The reception staff were helpful and provided information about things nearby.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Noted

broken a c dirty carpeting

The air conditioning in my room did not work. I was not able to adjust it with the remote, made the room uncomfortably warm. the carpeting looked quite dirty. I think some deep cleaning would really improve the rooms.

The location is convenient with the central bus and train stations within a short walk. My late check-in request at 11 PM was quickly accommodated because of a flight delay.
