Central Location AND AMAZING Staff!

central location easy access nearby restaurants

This place has an Really good location in the center of town. It is a short walk from the train station, even with luggage (super convenient!). Access to major attractions is easy. Several restaurants and supermarkets are nearby.

The breakfast choices are a bit limited. The staff didn't seem quite as friendly to some guests (I hope this improves!).

excellent location helpful staff coffee maker limited choice shared balcony missing mini fridge

The location was excellent, a short walk to the railway station. the room included a coffee maker and in-room safe. It was nice. the staff at the front desk was very helpful, a big plus.

The breakfast buffet had limited choice. I found it disappointing. the shared balcony required us to keep the curtains closed. there wasn't a mini fridge in the room, sadly.
