convenient location and lovely breakfast

train station luggage storage
The hotel is very close to the train station. This made arrival easy! the breakfast choices were amazing. i especially liked the fresh pastries. the facility to store luggage after check out was helpful, allowing me to explore without bags.
The absence of air conditioning was a significant issue. The room became uncomfortably hot. despite claims of air conditioning, it was not functioning . This led to considerable discomfort.

convenient location helpful staff bathroom mold insufficient water
The location proved convenient. It was near the train station, which simplified arrival and departure. The staff displayed helpfulness. They gave clear directions. Breakfast had some good options, and the breakfast hall was lovely.
The room had some mold on the bathroom ceiling. There seemed to be insufficient ventilation in the bathroom. I found the lack of drinking water an issue. Only one small bottle per person daily was not enough.
