The hotel's location near the train station was convenient. It was only a short walk away. i found the minibar restocked daily, a very nice touch. the in-room steamer was perfect for ironing clothes. the rooftop terrace had a amazing view, especially at night though.

i found the rooftop restaurant's selections a bit limited. i also thought the prices were a little high.
