Exceeded Expectations So happy we chose this location. The hotel is located next to main train station and in turn walking distance to most places. The area is safe and the hotel spectacular. Rooms are modern and bed very comfortable. We have travelled a lot & the buffet breakfast was one one of the best. Researching hotels are always time consuming but we saved you the trouble. Book it you won’t be disappointed. (:
