This historic hotel, born from the 1952 Olympics, retains a unique charm, though some areas show their age.

excellent stay near central station
train station extensive buffet nice balcony friendly staff
i found the location convenient, right across from the train station. the breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious, offering numerous options. the room had good water pressure, and i especially liked the nice balcony. i was also very pleased with the staff i encountered, who were consistently friendly and polite.
The lighting in the room wasn't particularly cozy. This is a small matter.

adequate location, but some disappointments
small room inoperative thermostat
the location was good, near transport links (i took the train).
the room was quite small, it was a squeeze with my luggage (i only had one suitcase). the thermostat didn't seem to work, the room was too warm for sleeping even after i tried to adjust it.
