i really enjoyed the location near the train station. it was very easy access to public transport. the breakfast was very good quality and offered many options. the staff was kind and patient.
the hotel design felt odd. there were mirrors all over the hallway and i almost walked into them multiple times. the hotel keys are big metal keys with large keychain attachments. i think the hotel should look into it.
