The location was very convenient! it was near the train station. the staff was very kind and made sure that i felt welcome. They arranged a breakfast box for me since i had to leave very early.
The air con did not work. It was a known issue to the hotel. i cannot imagine what the room would be like in the height of summer. It was overpriced for what it was.

The hotel is very close to the train station. It was only a short walk. I found good restaurants nearby. The breakfast had all the necessary items. I received an upgrade to a beautiful room. It was quite large for this location.
My room did not have coffee or tea making facilities. I had to request it from the front desk.

The location is near the train station, a very easy walk. The room had efficient equipment and the shower was great (it helped to relax after long walks!). Deborah and the hotel staff were very accommodating throughout my stay.
