This hotel provides very nice convenience due to its location inside the main train station. I found many dining and shopping options right within the building (a real plus!). The room was thoroughly cleaned daily and housekeeping even provided fresh pajamas.

I noticed the room was quite small. It was challenging to fully open our suitcases due to the limited space.
