The hotel is very close TO the central rail station. The breakfast buffet had very good options. Personnel were friendly. My room included adjustable air-conditioning.
The pillows were lumpy, and of poor quality. The tv was not a smart tv, unfortunately. Room furniture looked like cheap, old kitchen units.
