7.2/10

The hotel was more like an apartment than a traditional hotel room and located right next to the train line. It was a long way from the entrance and wasn't very clean. The service was fantastic with quick and easy assistance available, and the dining options were limited but with potential changes upcoming.

7.6/10

I stayed at this hotel and had mixed feelings about it. The rooms, despite having a kitchenette and a wonderful view with big windows, were noisy due to road and train noise, and not fully closed off from the rest of the apartment. However, the bed was big and comfy, and there was a nice couch. The distance to the room and the entrance being far were significant drawbacks.
