The hotel is located right in the center of town, which made getting around really easy. The rooms featured some interesting antique furnishings, but the lack of space to sit comfortably was a downside. The service was decent, although nothing to write home about, and I appreciated the proximity to the train station. Overall, I think it offers great value for money despite a few quirks.

I found the hotel to be in a great location, right in the center of town and just a short walk from the train station. The rooms were spacious, but I struggled with the temperature as it got really chilly overnight, and the bathroom felt shockingly cold. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the lack of comfort in the rooms was a downside. Overall, it was decent value for money, but a better heating system would have made my stay much more enjoyable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is perfect, right in the town center with plenty of great restaurants nearby. My room was clean but a bit cramped for comfort, and while the bathroom was vintage and spacious, it wasn’t practical for sitting. I appreciated the friendly staff but found the dining options limited. Overall, I think it offers decent value for money, but there are areas that could use some improvement.
