Convenient Location and Helpful Staff
good breakfaststandard bedhelpful staffconvenient location
The hotel features a good breakfast with a selection of cereals. The single bed in my room was a standard size, unlike some hotels where they are unusually narrow. The staff were helpful and spoke English well. I found the location to be quite convenient, with only a short walk to many points of interest.
The room had some issues with temperature regulation (the air conditioning was not working properly), so the room was warmer than I preferred.

The hotel provides a wide selection for breakfast. A fridge and coffee and tea making facilities are available in each room for added convenience, which I found useful.

The hotel sits between the train station and the city center. This is convenient for exploring. A supermarket is nearby if you want to buy snacks. The reception staff is cute and helpful (which is always a plus).
The air conditioning in the room took a while to cool the room.

The location is excellent. It is just a few minutes walk to the main square! the breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, i found the staff very friendly and helpful. the room was clean, and the bathroom included amenities.
the air conditioning was quite noisy, it made it difficult to sleep. the room felt a bit dated, and some of the furniture showed wear. the fridge also made loud noises at night, it disrupted my sleep.
