Decent Stay Near the Station

convenient locationcomfortable bedfree coffeeinconvenient plugssmall room
The hotel's location is fantastic! It is very close to the train station. The room was clean. I found the bed comfortable. The coffee machine on each floor was helpful. I could get coffee easily.
The power plug positions were odd! It was difficult to access them. There were long intervals. The room felt cramped. It was a little disappointing.

Functional Stay Near Central Station

convenient locationcomplimentary coffeecramped roombathroom lock
I found the location convenient. IT IS right next to the main train station. The complimentary coffee and tea on each floor were a welcome amenity. I especially liked the water bottles provided daily in the room.
The room size felt a little cramped. THE bathroom lacked a proper lock, somewhat inconvenient. I also noticed some noise from the hallway late at night.
