Convenient Stay Near the Station

convenient locationhelpful staffgreat breakfaststreet noise
The location is convenient, being right across from the train station (saves time and effort!). The staff were friendly and quite helpful with directions. I was able to leave my luggage after checking out to explore a bit more of the area. The breakfast was great (especially the pancakes!).
The sound insulation was not ideal, and the street noise made it a bit difficult to sleep. Even with the windows closed, I could still hear traffic.
