The location near the train station was acceptable. I found the experience adequate.
My room faced the street. Street noise at night was excessive. The noise made sleep difficult. I also found the towels quite thin. The minibar was not stocked at all, definitely not a good experience.

The hotel is very close to the main train station. This made it easy to get around. I also received early check-in which was a bonus. The room had individual air conditioning that worked perfectly
The power plug positions in the room were inconvenient. They were not easily accessible for daily use. This made charging devices a bit difficult
