the location worked well as shops and restaurants were nearby.
The check-in process was not smooth. I had to contact them multiple times for the details. i finally received them late and the code didn't work at first. also, the fan in the room was practically useless it barely moved any air.

Satisfactory Short Stay

The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It had plenty of choice, and it was cooked to perfection. The hotel's proximity to the train station was a HUGE plus, and it made travel very convenient.
The check-in process was a little confusing. I had to contact them to get the details. the blind in the room took quite a while to operate, a bit inconvenient.

adequate stay with issues

insufficient skylightmarginal fan
i found the skylight window in my room to be insufficient. it was the only window that opened and the room felt quite stuffy because of it. a fan was provided, but its performance was marginal. the lack of proper ventilation was a notable problem for me.
