The property itself was good and conveniently located near the train station. It was noisy at night though . The windows could have been double glazed to avoid the street noise at night

Location is excellent - stone’s throw from main station and metro station. Room was compact and clean and I slept well each night. There was a coffee capsule machine plus a variety of tea bags. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices to suit all diets. Also, the hotel has a large well-equipped gym on the 1st floor. The hotel provided a transport card - very very useful. Thank you. I will stay here again.

Good hotel in a perfect position to visit the town. Great breakfast. As an area for improvement a similar hotel should have a temporary parking lot in front of the reception to allow the check-in/check-out management.
