This hotel is RIGHT next to the train station. It was SUPER convenient! I found the staff really cute. They helped me with directions. My room was HUGE. It gave me lots of space to unpack ALL my stuff. The historic building is beautiful. It had some COOL architectural details.
The minibar was empty. I was hoping for a late-night snack.
