Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is fantastic, right across from the railway station, making it super convenient. However, the room faced internally with a view of the restaurant, which wasn't ideal for a peaceful stay. The service was responsive but only took care of trash after several nights. The dining options were average and nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and modern but unfortunately noisy due to the proximity to a motor box, especially in the mornings. Having a room close by was convenient, but the lack of adequate storage space was a downside.
