perfect location cute reception amplified noise distinct sounds
The location is AMAZING!!! It is perfect for accessing the train station. The reception area seemed very cute. The staff also was very friendly.
My upstairs neighbors could be heard. The floorboards seemed to amplify the noise more than I preferred. I could hear the sounds from the corridor quite distinctly.

A reasonably good location
convenient location train station helpful staff poor ventilation considerable noise broken door
The hotel location is very convenient, close to the train station. I found the breakfast selection lovely with sufficient options. The staff were helpful. They assisted when I requested a different room.
My room was quite warm, and the air circulation was poor. I noticed considerable noise, and it was audible from all directions. I found it nearly impossible to close the toilet door, and there was no lock.
