I loved the great location. The hotel is right across from the train station! the staff was so friendly and helpful when i asked for directions. the room was clean. it also had well-designed furniture.

Convenient Stay Near the Station

advantageous locationpolite staffwide selectionexcessive noise
The hotel's location proved advantageous, offering effortless access to both the train station and the airport shuttle. The staff offered prompt assistance. They were very polite. Breakfast had a wide selection. It suited many dietary needs.
The air conditioning unit produced excessive noise. This made for some difficulty when trying to rest. The noise was DISTRACTING. It detracted from an otherwise solid experience.
Dining

The breakfast buffet featured various options, including fresh pastries, cereals, and fruit. Coffee and tea were readily available, and the dining area was clean and well-kept. I ENJOYED the selection.

The hotel location was convenient. It was just across the street from the train station, allowing quick access. I also appreciated the plentiful breakfast buffet. It had cooked eggs and various breads.
The room carpet had some stains, which I found a bit off-putting. the toilet seat was unhinged on one side. It was a minor inconvenience .

mediocre stay near the station

main train stationempty juice machines
the hotel was straight opposite the main train station, i have to say that was handy.
I was really annoyed the breakfast was a joke. The breakfast room looked like a bomb exploded with people waiting and scraps of food, and juice machines were all empty, i gave up eating.
