Netter Aufenthalt
Pros:

Gute Lage mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für Essen direkt um die Ecke. Obwohl am Bahnhof gelegen gibt es hier kein gruseliges Umfeld wie sonst an Bahnhöfen

Pros:

Convenient. Receptionist was efficient and friendly. Bed was comfortable. Was concerened about being right next to the train station. We opened the window to freshen up the room and it was noisy but once closed there was zero noise.
This is a hotel for a quick stay - work related, etc and we stayed for just one night. It suited for that purpose. Would not recommend for a leisure break or holiday

Cons:

Room was tired and smelled of sweat when we entered the room. Although lots of choice for breakfast, the cooked food was awful and cold.

Water pressure was poor on 3rd floor, and I got a sink that barely drains water down.
