Fantastic Stay and Great Location
convenient location comfortable bed
The hotel's location proved very convenient, just a short walk from the train station. The town center was easily accessible (about 5 minutes), which simplified exploring. The room featured a comfortable bed and a very clean en-suite bathroom with modern fixtures. I found the shower especially good, equipped for immediate use.
I encountered a minor issue with the room's temperature control. The room became quite warm (especially during the afternoon), and adjusting the thermostat did not seem to affect it. This made the room less comfortable than I had expected at times.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast buffet had a good variety of options. I appreciated the freshly made bread and pastries, alongside cooked breakfast items. The dining area was clean and well-kept (though a bit compact).
