My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were really huge, about 35 square meters, with minimalistic decoration, making them cozy and clean. However, the proximity to the train line was a downside as we were constantly being woke up by trains. Additionally, both me and my partner ended up covered in small bites, which were not mosquito bites, raising concerns about the sanitation of the room.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with simple appointments but lacks views, ideal for solo female travelers due to its location near the train station and city center. The dining options are satisfactory with occasional breakfast variations. The service is efficient and helpful, although there was an issue with a safety deposit box key. The hotel's location is convenient for exploring the city without the hassle of carrying luggage around, and it caters to various student groups for tours.

The location was perfect, close to major attractions and the train station, though the noisy traffic was a downside.
