The hotel is located in a quiet environment, not far from the station, but it's difficult to find any nearby restaurants to eat at. The rooms are spacious and modern with three beds, one of which was a sofa bed. The service was exceptional with efficient housekeeping and a welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining options offer globally inspired dishes but could be more diverse. The facilities are convenient, though not all the amenities are included in the price, affecting the overall value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel located in a quiet environment, but finding nearby restaurants was a bit of a challenge. The rooms were spacious and comfy, with a sofa bed among the three beds, however, the price could be lower considering the value for money. The housekeeping service was efficient, and the welcome drink was a nice touch.

The hotel is in a quiet environment, not far from the station. The rooms were clean and comfortable but one of the beds was a sofa bed. The service was good, including housekeeping and a welcome drink. The location was convenient, close to the main train station and in the alley. The dining experience offered great steaks. The facilities were sufficient for a pleasant stay.

The hotel offers a relaxing stay in a quiet environment close to the main train station. The rooms are spacious and modern, although the sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable. The housekeeping service was efficient, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. The location is convenient for exploring the city, but the alley entrance might not appeal to everyone. The dining options are limited to finger food, and the facilities are basic but adequate for a short stay.

The hotel is situated in a quiet environment, making it a peaceful stay, but finding nearby restaurants can be a challenge. The proximity to the main train station is convenient. The rooms are spacious, with three beds, one of which is a sofa bed. The housekeeping service was excellent, providing a warm welcome drink. However, the dining options for hot wok dishes were limited. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with three beds, including a sofa bed, which was a nice touch. The service was good, especially with housekeeping, and we even got a welcome drink upon arrival. However, the location was a bit challenging to find in the alley, and there weren't many nearby restaurants to choose from. The hotel's proximity to the main train station was convenient though.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet environment and not far from the station, although it was a bit challenging to find nearby restaurants. The rooms were spacious, with three beds including a cozy sofa bed, and the service was top-notch, even offering a welcome drink. While the alley location was a bit puzzling at first, being close to the main train station was convenient.
