My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the price felt a little on the expensive side. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and extremely helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location was convenient, being close to the train station and other amenities, but the housekeeping could have been more meticulous. The dining options were good quality but slightly pricey.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were clean, sufficiently furnished, and equipped with everything we needed, although the first room we were given had a terrible stink issue that required us to move. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay pleasant. The location was very strategic, near major attractions and transportation hubs. The dining experience offered a broad range of options but was a bit disappointing. While the price was reasonable, the first room issue was a bit of a letdown.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were quiet despite the nearby restaurant and sauna areas, but I struggled with the room being a little cold even after maxing out the heater. Unfortunately, the hairdryer and water boiler were not working, and the glass panel in the bathroom did not contain water well, leaving the area around the bathtub wet after each shower.

The hotel is ideally located near the railway station, offering easy access to the airport and city center. The rooms are quiet and well-insulated, but the glass panel in the shower lets water out.

The hotel is conveniently located near the central railway station, making it convenient for airport transfers and shopping at the nearby supermarket. The rooms are on the smaller side and could use some additional furnishings for a cozier feel. However, cleanliness standards could be improved with issues like unwashed glasses and a lack of tea provision. Not being able to open windows was a downside.
