“The direct proximity to the train station is a significant advantage, making arrivals and departures remarkably convenient. Inside, the rooms are notably spacious and well-maintained, offering a comfortable base, with the inclusion of breakfast a welcome touch. It's clear the hotel is undergoing refurbishment, and the dedication of the staff, many of whom are trainees, adds a certain warmth to the experience.”
