The hotel was a comfortable stay, with spacious and clean rooms that had modern amenities and a great hot shower. I appreciated the friendly service, but the location was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the train station, although it did offer easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, it was a good value for money, but the dining options could have been improved.
