The room was super clean. It included a fridge and a kettle (very handy for morning tea!). The location is quite convenient. I found the train station to be only a short walk away. The staff were kind and made restaurant reservations for me. The breakfast room had a cozy, rustic charm.
The air conditioning was a bit difficult to adjust. It felt a little stuffy at times.

adequate stay, some drawbacks

convenient locationineffective air conditioninglimited breakfast
the location was close to the train terminal, convenient.
The air conditioning was not very effective. The room remained too warm for my liking. i also found the breakfast options to be quite limited. It was a basic offering and lacked variety. there wasn't a proper wardrobe in the room, so i had to keep my belongings in the suitcase.

The hotel location was advantageous. It was a quiet area, yet close to the center. Breakfast was simple but good. The staff was nice and helpful.
The air conditioning could not be adjusted. It felt stuffy. The room was small. It was difficult to fit two people with two luggages inside. Cleanliness could have been better.
