The hotel is located in a really quiet area by a train station, just 10 minutes by train from the central station. The rooms are spacious and come with a private bathroom and a great shower, plus a comfortable sofa. The service was top-notch with great hospitality from a wonderfully charming staff. However, the dining options were limited to unlimited tea and coffee. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, making it a comfortable stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were kept clean and had a big television, although the price could have been more reasonable. The service was excellent with a wonderfully charming staff, but some additional amenities would have been appreciated. The location was a bit further out from the city center but very convenient being close to a local railway station. The dining experience offered unlimited tea and coffee, a nice touch, but could have had more variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
