The staff was really friendly and helpful (they always had a smile). breakfast offered many choices. The pastries were fresh. i found the hotel's location to be amazing as it was near the train station. there were also many restaurants nearby, a super convenient perk.

The location offers convenient access to public transport. Rooms were cleaned daily, including a large double bed. Breakfast included many options. It was a satisfactory experience. Staff was polite and always smiling!

Our room was not cleaned one day. I complained and received a bottle of water. No bar service was available at the hotel. I think they should look into these issues.
