This hotel is such a perfect spot and convenient. The train station felt like a 3 to 5 min walk. The places to shop and eat is just right out of the hotel and very close. I would stay here again if I come back. I like that it also has a currency exchange when needed in the hotel and there is also a weighing scale by the lobby to check for your luggages. Our flight was going to be later that night and I like that you can leave your luggages for free as well while you take time to still explore around instead of doing luggage lockers. The staff are very hospitable and helpful when you need assistance. I highly recommend this place.
