The location was perfect for getting around by train I had no vehicle and needed to be close to the station. The staff were so helpful and friendly they gave great tips for local restaurants. Breakfast at the hotel was tasty I especially loved the cappuccino.
My room was quite small I needed more space to move around comfortably. The bathroom needed some updating it looked a little worn. There was some street noise at night I could hear it even with the windows closed.

I enjoyed the location, it was very good near the train station and restaurants. The front desk gave good suggestions for restaurants I could visit. I would stay at this hotel AGAIN because it was a very nice time. THE breakfast was very nice too.
I stayed at this hotel for one night. The ROOM felt dated and reminds me of the 80s. The furniture was old WITH paint coming off.
