The location was perfect. the staff showed genuine care and a warm welcome. breakfast offered good options, especially a rich buffet. A comforting start to each day.
The room lacked adequate storage. This, and it was quite an inconvenience, honestly.

mixed feelings about my stay

cramped roomstreet noise
the room i got, a standard double or twin room, felt really cramped. there wasn't enough space to move around comfortably. also, the noise level from the street below was awful. i could hear everything going on until late at night and , made it difficult to sleep. the walls felt super thin too and i kept hearing sounds from other rooms.

The location was great, just a short walk from the railway station.
The room was too cold. The thermostat did not work. The beds were too close together in the double room (the room size was an issue).

Acceptable, but Room for Improvement

poor soundproofingsmall room
The lack of proper soundproofing was an issue. I could hear noise from the street and adjacent rooms. the room was quite small. There was barely enough space to move around freely or store luggage comfortably. A larger room and better sound insulation would improve future stays. I also found the lighting in the bathroom to be poor. It was difficult to see well for shaving or applying makeup. The hotel should address these issues. This situation was really inconvenient!
