I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was very clean and comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made me feel welcome right from the start. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the main shopping area and train station. However, the rooms had some noise issues and the bathroom setup could use improvement, particularly with the shower curtain not preventing water from spilling out. Overall, I felt it was a good value for the price.

Rooms

7.0

My room was impeccably clean and nicely furnished, complete with two flat-screen TVs and a mini-refrigerator, which was really great for my needs. However, the soundproofing left something to be desired, and I did find the shower curtain didn’t do a great job of keeping the water in the shower area.

The hotel is in a perfect location, making it easy to explore the city with good connections to public transport. The staff was nice and helpful, even at the late hour we arrived, but the room condition left a bit to be desired, especially with the noise from the ventilation. Overall, it’s decent value for money considering the service and dining options, but the rooms need some serious attention.

Rooms

The room was not in great shape; there was paint falling off the wood, and the noise from the ventilation kept me awake all night. Plus, the shower's short protection glass meant water overflowed everywhere.

I had a pretty decent stay at this hotel, with a perfect location just a short walk from the city center and train station. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, but a few things in the room could definitely have been better—like cleanliness and the shower setup. Overall, good value for money, but a bit more attention to detail would go a long way.

Rooms

The room was quite comfortable for resting, but it wasn't very clean and had a strange smell. The shower protection glass was too short, causing water to overflow onto the floor, making things a bit messy. However, I did appreciate the nice furnishings and amenities provided.
