Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel was right in the center of the city, at walking distance to the city center. The rooms had an extra large double mattress, though the bathroom was small. The bed was really comfy, which made my stay pleasant. The service was top-notch with a lovely welcome drink. The location was truly convenient being adjacent to the train station in a nice neighborhood. The dining experience offered fresh salads, even though the coffee was quite bad. The facilities were adequate, making my stay enjoyable and hassle-free.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the city, just a stone's throw away from the main train station. The rooms are cozy with a comfortable bed and an extra-large double mattress, though the small bathroom is a bit cramped. The service was exceptional with a nice welcome drink, and the location couldn't be more convenient for those arriving by train. Despite the great location, the dining options were a bit limited with quite bad coffee, but the grilled cheese was tasty. Overall, a decent stay with a minor setback in the dining experience.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its comfortable bed and large double mattress. The service was top-notch, and I enjoyed a welcome drink upon arrival. The location was perfect, very close to the train station, making it convenient for exploring the city. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with quite bad coffee and limited food options.
