Convenient and Clean Stay

daily passcentral locationsoundproof room
The breakfast was good (I liked the variety of options!). Staff are really good. They provided a daily travel pass within the city zone. Reaching the main train station took only 10-15 minutes. The hotel is centrally located for many tourist attractions.
The rooms are not soundproof. I could hear everything from the adjoining rooms. The shared bathrooms are very clean, but there is nowhere to put things except for two hooks. There is also no bath mat, a little inconvenient.

The location offered easy access to key attractions, roughly fifteen minutes to the main train station. The hotel provided a complimentary city travel pass, very useful. I found the staff to be helpful. Check-in was smooth and efficient.

The breakfast had many choices, including delicious breads. I especially appreciated the variety of jelly options, not prepackaged. The breakfast attendant provided great service and was attentive to her station.

The hotel is in a quieter area, still convenient to the town centre. Frequent bus services run to the main station, town centre, and lake. This made getting around the area easy and accessible.
