decent hotel with a good location

convenient location decent variety friendly staff basic room long corridors intermittent wi-fi

the location proved quite convenient, especially with the nearby train station. breakfast offered a decent variety of options. the staff were friendly and helpful during check-in. i used the sauna and found it quite relaxing after a day of travel..

My room felt quite basic, considering the price i paid. the corridors seemed long and winding. i encountered some issues with the wi-fi connection in my room. It was intermittent at best.

great breakfast huge selection friendly staff cleaning policy cold room replaced cups

this hotel's location is awesome , only a few minutes from the bus station which has service to the airport. i loved the breakfast , they had a huge selection of items. also , the staff was friendly and courteous , especially when i needed help.

i found the non-cleaning policy annoying by default. the towels got changed every day even when i didn't need it , but they didn't really clean. the room and bathroom were too cold , it was not pleasant. used coffee cups weren't replaced with clean ones either , sadly.
