fantastic stay!

great locationeasy accesspublic transportdark room
I found the location great with easy access to public transport. Buses and trains are nearby. the hotel is about 1.5km from the station so definitely walkable. lots of restaurants are around and major attractions are very close, that was so convenient.
The room was quite dark. The window faced another building only 1 meter away. i expected more natural light in the room.
