great location good selection street noise air conditioning

The hotel's location is excellent. it's super close to the main train station. i also found the breakfast to be quite good. There was a nice selection of meats, cheeses, and breads.

the lack of air conditioning was a real problem. it made sleeping difficult even with the fan and the noise from the street kept me awake at night. the room faced a very busy road.
