I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location is fantastic, just opposite the train station, making it super convenient to get around. While the rooms were small and not exactly what I expected for the price, the staff was friendly and helpful. On the downside, the dining experience didn't quite live up to my expectations, and I felt that the overall value for money could be better.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, right across from the train station, making it super convenient for getting around. However, the rooms were a bit small and different from what I expected based on the website. The service could also use some improvement since the staff wasn't particularly friendly, although they were helpful when needed. Overall, if you're looking for a great location and don't mind smaller rooms, it could work for you.

The hotel is located in a quiet area, making it a peaceful retreat, yet it's conveniently near the train station and several good restaurants. The rooms, however, felt a bit cramped, especially when trying to fit in luggage. The staff was generally friendly and helpful, which was a nice touch. Overall, while the value is decent, the small room size can be a drawback.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location close to the train station and shops. The rooms were a bit on the small side and had a slight smell of smoke, which was a bit unpleasant. The service was hit or miss; some staff were friendly while others didn't seem all that welcoming. Overall, I think the location and friendly staff made it a reasonable choice, but the room's condition could use improvement.
