I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with very friendly staff and clean rooms. The location is perfect for getting around, being so close to the train station, but the room was on the smaller side and could get a bit stuffy. The dining options were decent but may feel a bit pricey for what you get. Overall, it offers good value for money, though there's definitely room for improvement.
