great locationluggage drop-offcomfy bed
the hotel's location is great, right next to the train station! luggage drop-off early was a bonus, so i didn't have to haul my bags around while exploring. the bed in my room was a good size and comfy.
the cafe bar felt a bit cramped. its options were limited to pizza and a few drinks, which wasn't great for a longer stay.

Central Location and Practical Design
effective soundproofingpractical designfirm bedunwelcoming staff
The trains were close, but the soundproofing was effective. I appreciated the bathroom design (it felt spacious enough to move comfortably). The bed was firm. I set my alarm because I knew I would sleep soundly, and I did.
The staff was not very cute upon arrival. We were told our room would be ready by 2 PM. It was not available until 4 PM, inconvenient, as we had plans to freshen up before going out.
