excellent roomhelpful staffcomfortable showerloud musicrude receptionistcustomer service
The room was excellent and bigger than i expected. It was probably recently renovated or very well maintained. The shower and WC were SUPER clean, and the shower was the MOST comfortable I have ever experienced!!! The hotel staff was super nice and helpful. They helped with a late check-in. They had great suggestions for excursions outside the city and savings on local attractions.
I had an issue with the loud music playing until 5 AM from the bar in the hotel. When I called down to reception, the receptionist was very rude. She said she did not know how to turn off the iPad playing the music. She was not very helpful and was rude. I suggest some further training on her customer service.

Excellent Stay Near the Train Station

comfortable bedvaried breakfastconvenient locationlimited snacks
The room was a good size and the bed felt very comfortable. Breakfast was varied with a good selection, including fresh omelets made to order (i enjoyed this very much). The hotel's proximity to the train station made travel easy.
The bar did not have many snack options available. I found this limiting when wanting a simple snack with drinks. A wider variety would improve the experience.
