convenient locationcomfy beds
i found the location convenient. it was directly across from the main train station. my superior double room had very comfy beds, i slept soundly.
the minibar had snacks spread around it, so i thought they were complimentary! though i later found out they weren't.

convenient locationcomfy bedsfriendly staffunsafe arealimited breakfastunexpected taxes
the hotel was right next to the main train station, a real plus for my travels. the room included very comfy beds. the staff were friendly (always a bonus!).
The area near the train station felt a bit unsafe at night. the breakfast selection was quite limited. I expected more variety. the hotel charged city taxes, which i wasn't aware of until checkout (a heads-up would have been nice).
