    strategic location, impressive rooftop area, exceptional maintenance of facilities

    Noise disturbances from outside can really disrupt your peace!!! Also, the lack of ramps for easier access is inconvenient for those with strollers or mobility issues!!!

    welcoming staff
    lacking elevator
    tight room

    Welcoming and helpful staff made us feel at home.

    The absence of an elevator made carrying luggage difficult. Our room was tight and lacked space, which was uncomfortable. The breakfast options were repetitive during our three-day stay, lacking variety.

    convenient location
    noise disturbances

    The location is exceptional, directly across from the train station which made transit super convenient. I appreciated the early check-in and found the room clean with a stunning mountain view. Additionally, there was a microwave near the reception, allowing us to enjoy our own meals easily.

    There were occasional noise disturbances from the street and train traffic, which could disrupt my rest.

    breakfast options

    The staff was super friendly and helpful, making our stay really enjoyable! Loved the breakfast outdoors with stunning mountain views, and our room was clean and cozy. Perfect location just across from the train station.

    I wish there were more options for breakfast, like some Asian dishes to switch things up.

    Recommended for travelers needing comfort

    The location is critical, just across the street from the train station Plus, the staff were overly helpful. They assisted me when I banged my knee in the city, quite a relief when you're on a trip.

    It wasn't cheap but a fair ask for what you get.

    Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

    We enjoyed our short stay, but our street-side room was noisy with the window open. A room in the back would be ideal if it's warm. The breakfast had some delightful fresh options, but adding variety would elevate the experience. Future guests should specifically request quieter rooms.

    central location
    friendly staff
    poor front desk service
    checkout confusion
    lack of professionalism

    The central location provides easy access to landmarks and shopping, making it convenient for travelers. The breakfast options were delightful, featuring fresh dishes, and the staff were generally friendly and accommodating. However, there were significant issues with the front desk service, which ranged from poor customer treatment to unclear checkout procedures. Notably, being asked to return to the room for the key while rushing to catch a train was both frustrating and surprising.

    Had such a cozy time with a fantastic breakfast view and great breakfast variety! However, the room was smaller than expected, making it a bit tight. I’d definitely return!

    convenient location
    ample breakfast
    inconvenient elevator
    street noise
    cramped room

    The location is a major advantage, sitting right across from the train station and surrounded by restaurants and shops. Breakfast options were ample and featured great views from the dining area. However, the absence of an elevator proved inconvenient, and noise from the street made for a less restful night. The room felt cramped, especially with an extra bed for the third guest, but the warm and welcoming staff significantly enhanced our experience.
