Our room was ready early so we got a chance to drop our luggage and recuperate after a very long travel day. The hotel is walkable from the train station, so we could avoid needing another mode of transportation although the area around the train station is necessary to be alert. Lastly, our family room with another room with beds and a second bathroom (amazing) for our kids gave us plenty of room - more than we ever expected.

This hotel was very easy to find as it’s near the station it was very clean with great facilities the check in was very quite rooms nice and tidy bathroom had a fantastic shower it’s located within walking distance everything being close to the railway station also has its problems as it seems to a meeting place for a lot of people which at times made you wary of which side of the road to walk on I must say I was never approached in anyway however there was quite a few police in the area !!!

The room I stayed in looked nothing like the photos. There was a weird makeshift shower in the bathroom right next to the toilet. Very misleading photos on Expedia.

The hotel is in a good condition. The location is perfect - close to the train station and not too far from the tourist spots. Breakfast is okay. We could hear the trams next to our room at night. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom so the bathroom seemed very damp after a shower.

The location was close to the train station, however as the roads are very complicated ( not a grid layout) in that area, it was tricky to find. Breakfast anfd room was great.

Did not like the fact that they would not give me a room that did not smell highly of cleaning products.
