the location suited my travel plans because it was directly across from the train station. the staff provided helpful information upon request. the breakfast included a good selection of items each morning .

the immediate area surrounding the hotel felt unsafe especially at night. the room lacked essential amenities such as glasses unless requested from reception. the absence of a mini-bar meant no cold water was readily available in the room.

i appreciated the hotel's proximity to the main train station. the lobby was bright, which i found cute. there was also coffee available in the room (a small comfort, but a welcome one).

the surrounding area was unsafe, filled with a lot of immigrants hanging around. the breakfast offered little variety and seemed of low quality. the traffic noise was excessive!).
