the staff members were very friendly. the hotel rooms had modern decoration. i found the location to be beneficial because it was close to the train station and some restaurants. i really liked the chocolate fountain at reception it was a fun novelty.

A mixed experience, I suppose

small showerlack storage
The room they gave me was quite small, not much space to move around and I kept bumping into things. Breakfast felt a bit cramped, it was in the same area as the reception so I had to dodge people checking in while I was grabbing my croissant. I found the shower especially tiny. It was quite a challenge to maneuver inside it, and I almost got stuck. The lack of storage was frustrating. I could not find any shelves for my clothes, just a few hangers out in the open, far from ideal for a longer stay.

The location is convenient. The train station is nearby.
The receptionist was unhelpful and seemed unconcerned about the error. This behavior felt UNWELCOMING, and I was disappointed by the poor staff experience.

Carlos at the front desk was very cute. He provided me with a map and directions for a walking tour around the city since it was my first visit. The hotel location is fantastic, about a 5-minute walk from the main train station. It was perfectly situated for shopping and transportation.
The double rooms were smaller than expected. There was not much space for two people's luggage in the room. we made it work.. The service in the lobby was available most of the time, which i appreciated.
