I appreciated the hotel's location near the train station! It made getting around very convenient. The staff members were helpful and spoke English well. The breakfast had a great variety of tasty food.

The price seemed a bit high. Broken sink was an issue in my room. Only coffee was available in the room and not in the lobby. I also found the room to be quite small.

good locationpoor breakfastextra costs

the location is good for accessing the downtown area. the hotel provided a fan when i asked for it.

The breakfast was subpar. The staff acted like i was an inconvenience. i was asked for my room number twice on the first morning. i even found a live wasp in the jam, and a staff member just shrugged. also, there were unknown extra costs on the bill for energy and city tax.
