“The hotel's location directly across from the main train station makes it exceptionally convenient, and the on-site spa, complete with a sensory shower, provides a welcome escape; though the immediate neighborhood has a gritty edge, the hotel itself offers a comfortable and stylish retreat.

convenient stay, next to the train station!

comfortable bedscomplimentary waterbreakfast buffetexcellent staff
i stayed in a room with very comfortable beds and also received complimentary water and refreshments. the breakfast buffet had a decent range of choices, including vegan options such as almond milk, fruit salad, and stewed prunes. the hotel staff were consistently excellent and polite, addressing any concerns i had. i found the hotel super convenient because it's close to the train station.
while the hotel was mostly very clean, the floor's sensor light was not sensitive enough. this meant i often needed to unlock my room in darkness.
