Overall it was a decent hotel in a good location near the train station. Staff were nice. It wasn’t the nicest hotel we stayed at throughout our trip, yet it was the most expensive.

Room was comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. This is not the place to stay if you can’t sleep through a party outside. The laughing and singing didn’t stop until 5am. I was entertained but if I had wanted silence this was absolutely the wrong hotel
