The location proved convenient with easy access to transportation hubs.
The noise levels were pretty high. The room was dated. I think a refurbishment is overdue because the furniture looked worn.

The location was convenient (very close to the train station).
The hotel felt dated with old furniture. It seemed like there had been little investment in updates. I found the noise levels disruptive. Street sounds and noise from other rooms.

i like the location near the central station. Restaurants, supermarkets, shops, and tourist attractions are within a short walk. The staff was very helpful and responsive to all our needs. The breakfast had a lot of options and tasted nice.
the hotel is split into different buildings, this was not initially clear. my room was in a separate building across from the main hotel. it was next to a pubwith significant noise at NIGHT.
