The hotel location is great. It is very near the railway station (making travel easy). Breakfast provided a reasonable spread. I especially liked the juice machine.

the location proved ideal, a short walk from the train station (a true blessing after a long journey). the breakfast buffet was substantial. i particularly enjoyed the fresh pastries offered each morning.
The room doors could use some soundproofing. Hallway noise was noticeable.
