I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a great experience overall. The rooms are modern and kept very clean, which I appreciated. The location is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from a train station. However, the dining options left something to be desired, as some of the dishes were served cold. The hotel offers good value for money, but Wi-Fi should be complimentary given the price.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it had some standout features, it also had its quirks. The location was very convenient, just a short walk from the train station, which made getting around a breeze. The rooms were clean and new, but the glass walls of the bathrooms were a bit odd for my taste. The service was decent, although I expected a bit more warmth. Overall, it's a great option for the price, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
