“What strikes me is the dedication of the staff; their genuine care significantly elevates the experience, especially given the hotel's central location near the train station. The rooms, while simple, are clean and quiet, making it an ideal choice for a short stay in an otherwise expensive city. For those prioritizing budget and location, this hotel presents a compelling option.”
