Convenient Stay Near the Station

convenient locationluggage transportbreakfast spreadunsafe area

The hotel's location was very convenient as it was close to the main train station. It made traveling with luggage much easier. The downstairs breakfast area impressed me, especially with its fantastic spread (i especially liked the cheese selection!). I also received free drink vouchers because I declined daily room cleaning, a great bonus.

The area felt a bit unsafe around the hotel late in the evening. I would advise caution when walking around at night. It did concern me slightly.

Facilities

The lobby was informal. It was cute with many colorful paintings and objects. The hotel also offers convenient parking options at a reasonable rate.

Rooms

My room was spacious and clean. It offered super comfy beds (i slept like a baby!). Air conditioning worked very well even when it was hot outside. I also had a nice welcome message.

Location

The hotel is close to the main train station and a metro station. This proximity offers easy access to various parts of the city. There is a tram line stop right beside the hotel for easy access.

the hotel is very close to the train station. safe parking was available . the breakfast buffet had a good selection of items.

The toilet was separate from the bathroom. It was a small space. the hotel lacked air conditioning. This was reportedly broken. the card was blocked for a higher amount than the total hotel cost.
