station proximity was so nice

convenient locationcomfy bedhigh standardfriendly staff

i found the location quite convenient, as it is just a short walk from the train station! the very comfy bed ensured a restful night. i appreciated the very high standard of cleanliness throughout the room. staff members were friendly and accommodating.

the shower had insufficient water pressure on the hot water line. this made it slightly difficult to enjoy a fully relaxing shower. but everything else was perfect.
