Perfect location
Our hotel was centrally located directly across the street from the train station. So perfect location! Room was clean and well kept. Staff was very helpful.
Karen, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine
The service was excellent from everyone I encountered. The breakfast was good. However, I found the stay quite uncomfortable. Bed and pillows terrible. Chair to work at desk in room was awful. Heating/aircon didn't work, so hot at night but very cold for early morning get-ups. Also, when I first arrived, I was put into a room literally next to building work happening. It was deafening. They QUICKLY changed me to a different room. Which I appreciate. But a 4 star hotel should be avoiding putting guests in these rooms anyway, it seems pretty obvious to me.

Stay somewhere else
Stayed in a room with handicapped shower… the curtain was full of mold and stains. Ate at the restaurant but there was an event so waiters were focused on them and not us. We dropped a couple hundred for dinner and felt like we were a nuance. Not ok
Stephanie, 1-night trip

Great location for travellers, next to train station with dozens of regional trains to multiple destinations, not far from the historic city centre.

The property was right by the train station, walkable to many areas in the city, and near many places to eat and shop. It was convenient, clean, and the staff was so kind. The rooms were also a great size, and clean. It was a great place, and I would definitely stay here again, as well as any of their other locations around the world.
