i loved the proximity to the train station, it really made travel simple. restaurants were close. the luggage check was a lifesaver plus the lounge area was useful after checkout. the view of river from my room was fun, its was great.
the bathroom, it felt so small. shower, toilet, and sink all seemed crammed together. the shower had a small curtain, it was hard for someone large.

Central Location and Helpful Staff

The hotel location was very central , just a five minute walk from the main station and close to attractions. The staff provided fans for the rooms. Beds were comfortable and tea and coffee were available at the reception around the clock.
I found only one chair with a backrest in the room for two people. The bathroom and toilet felt very cramped. This impacted mobility within the space.
