the hotel's location was really convenient. it was a short walk from the train station, about five minutes. the front desk staff was friendly and gave me helpful information about local attractions. my room was also a good size and nicely decorated.
The bathroom floor was not clean when i arrived. i saw some hair there that wasn't mine. also, i really missed having a coffee maker in the room. Only instant coffee was provided. i also found that the minibar prices were hard to find.
