“Good location for visiting the town , walking distance to all major sights as well as restaurants.”
Breakfast was served on a plate. No choice, no fruit no yogurt no cereal. Bread , a very good omelette, a good sausage, a mix of greens and a rice parcel, all good quality.

“Overall, the small room size is well compensated by its economical rates and its excellent location.”
The location is excellent—within easy walking distance of the train station, and just outside the hotel are streets lined with shops, restaurants, and cafés. We were even able to walk to nearby temples, which made sightseeing very convenient. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The lobby is small but features a grand décor that gives a nice first impression. However, the room and bathroom are quite compact and leave practically no space to open or pack medium-sized luggage, making it more suitable for solo travellers. As we were only staying for one night, we were able to manage. A plus point is that the hotel offers connecting rooms, which makes it a good option for families who want to stay close to each other. However, we did encounter some issues with the room temperature in one of the connecting rooms, as it could not be adjusted from within the room and required housekeeping to change it from their end. We did eventually open the window to allow the cool air (stay during winter) to flow in. All the basic amenities are provided, and overall, the smaller room size is well compensated by the hotel’s economical rates and its excellent, convenient location.
