Under renovation

The hotel is under renovation. This lead to a lot of noise from 7 in the morning. There was a lot of builder dust on the first floor, there was no heating in my bathroom (freezing), and the hotel had no option to move to a proper room. Would definitely avoid staying here until renovations are done. On the positive side the location is really good, and everything is close.

Staff was very friendly. We would have liked a better view instead of looking at a construction site. Blowdryer broke down. Asked for another one but it never arrived. Asked for ice and the machine was broke. Parking was at another location and almost impossible to unload your luggage at the hotel as it was a bus zone in front of the hotel. We enjoyed the breakfast it was very delicious.

An average, slightly dated hotel near the station. Some of the rooms lacked air-conditioning, the bathrooms were cramped. Some rooms were facing a building site where a new wing was being built. It would have been better to update the existing rooms before building more.

Nice clean hotel with good breakfast buffet and pleasant staff, and also very handy to the train station. Unfortunately, there is a downside to the locale: noisy drunks, screaming and fighting on one occasion, more celebratory on others, kept us awake between 3 and 5 am on three nights of a 5-night stay.
