I selected this hotel for its proximity to the train station. The easy access was essential for my early train departure. The staff were cute and efficient during check-in and check-out. The room featured historical decorations and artwork, which I thought added a nice touch.
My room had a noticeable musty odor, it lingered even after a few days. This smell transferred to my clothing, which I did not appreciate. I also found the bathroom door difficult to close, a minor inconvenience.

the location near the train station was very convenient for my arrival. the room included daily amenities, a nice touch. i found the rooms to be quite cozy. the transport pass the hotel provided was really useful (i used it every day).
i noticed some wear on the wood furniture, which detracted from the overall appearance.

the location proved easily accessible from the central train station.
The air conditioning did not function properly. It only emitted air, not cooled air. the furniture was worn, giving the impression of age. i advise confirming functionality before arrival.
