The hotel did not have a mini fridge in the room so I was not able to have a cold drink.

The breakfast offered a great selection of food. The breakfast layout worked much better than other hotels I have visited.
There was no bathroom fan, and the bathroom had a bad smell upon my arrival. There was no toilet brush, the FIRST time I encountered this.

SOLID Choice for a short stay

convenient locationspacious roomnearby restaurants
the hotel is conveniently located, about 20 minutes by bus from the central station. i found the rooms spacious and clean. a nice detail, an iron and ironing board were available in the room. there are also many restaurants near the hotel, behind it, and along the street.
the shower was basic, giving me what seemed like a simple caravan experience. it lacked a proper bathroom feel.

helpful staffconvenient locationaccessible station
i found the staff to be very helpful, especially regarding directions. the location was quite convenient, as public transport options were just outside the hotel. the central station was also easily accessible , within a short distance.
the breakfast area felt a bit small , given the number of guests , which sometimes made it a little crowded during peak hours.
