Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Mario'S is conveniently situated near the train station and within easy walking distance of city center attractions. Guests appreciate the well-designed, if somewhat narrow, bathrooms featuring strong showers and windows to prevent mirror fog. Breakfast is considered a nice touch, and the air conditioning effectively keeps rooms cool; however, a few guests have noted that the beds can be quite hard. You can also leave your luggage after checking out, until you head to the train station, which is around the corner by Burger King.

close locationuncomfortable bedsconstant noise

The location was close to the train station.

The beds were not comfortable , and I woke up with a sore back after each night. My room faced the street and was near the stairs and cleaning cupboard , so the noise was constant. I also got several bites on my face while at the hotel, and I am unsure what caused them.

the location was convenient, being so close to the train station. i appreciated the generous breakfast options available each morning. the staff members i encountered were consistently pleasant and helpful.

The walls seemed quite thin. I could hear noises from neighboring rooms easily. my room faced a less appealing view of a backyard that was unkempt. there wasn't an elevator to the reception area, requiring me to carry luggage up a flight of stairs.

The breakfast was a nice touch, and I enjoyed the fresh bread. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Leonard. He was super cute. There was also free water available . I could refill it and bring it to my room.

My room was very noisy, facing the street. I was also next to the stairs, so I was woken up by slamming doors. The beds were also uncomfortable. I ended up with a sore back. It made walking around quite difficult.
