Great room right at the train station
Pros:

Hotel in a very beautiful building, directly in front of the station. Despite the location, the room managed to keep very quite, also thanks to the AC that allowed us to keep the windows closed. The room was so much bigger than we expected, and had everything we could need. The stuff was very helpful and accomodated us even at the breakfast buffet when we were short on time.

Cons:

Nothing
