The hotel location proved convenient, placing me near shops, restaurants, a park, and the train station.

My stay had some hiccups. The provided teabags totaled a mere TWO. The breakfast was a bit of a free-for-all. The overcrowded tables left very little space. I asked THRICE for coffee, not sure why they don't have a help yourself service, when it arrived it tasted over stewed.
