The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms, although not as expected with old beds and TVs, were fair in size and comfortable. However, there was some noise from trams outside. The location was excellent, very close to the train station and easily accessible to sights, but noise from passing trains could disturb sleep. Dining was decent with a small selection of hot and cold dishes. The service was friendly, especially the late-night staff, but the recommendation for late-night dining was a bit odd.

The hotel's rooms were clean, but not as spacious as expected and too dim for our liking. Despite the railway station nearby, the service was very friendly and helpful, even acknowledging my birthday with a drink and snack. The location was convenient for train travelers, close to the station and within walking distance of key attractions. The dining options were excellent, especially with an eat-as-much-you-like buffet. However, the price for some facilities like Wi-Fi was not included in the stay.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with basic necessary amenities, but could use some updating to match the reception area. The service is generally nice and responsive, although there were occasional lapses in room cleaning and restocking essentials. The location is fabulous, right next to the train station and with easy access to public transportation options. The dining experience provides reasonably priced and filling meals with a modern canteen, stylish lobby, and various amenities. Overall, a convenient choice for a stopover night with great proximity to transportation hubs.
