i really appreciated how close it was to the main train station! it made getting around so easy. the staff was super friendly and helpful, that was great. i also liked that they let me check in a bit early since my room was ready and i was tired.
the room i got was a bit too warm, there wasn't air conditioning or a fan. also, my room faced the street and the nightlife was pretty loud. i had to close the window at night, so then there was no air at all.

Acceptable Stay Near Transport

convenient locationfriendly staffoutside noiselimited choice
Location was awesome. It was super close to the train station, I tell you. Staff was friendly too, and checking in, it was easy. I got a good room and it had everything I need for a short stay.
There was some noises. I woke up every night because of noises coming from the outside. the breakfast options were poor. It was not a continental style as I expected. There was very few choices available. I didn't enjoy it.
