Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while spacious and comfortable, could get overly hot due to the duvet. The location right near the train station is perfect for travelers, although some noise may be an issue. The service was friendly despite an attempt at lecturing, and the dining, while good, came at an extra cost. The facilities were decent overall.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a lounge area, but they felt a little cramped and lacked desk/table space. Asking for a quiet room meant a 'quiet room', however, the connection to what used to be another hotel next door was a bit inconvenient unless you are on the 3rd floor.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The room was modern and extremely comfortable, equipped with a minibar, two TVs, and a kettle for making tea or coffee, all provided at no extra charge. It overlooked the car park, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep, although some colleagues found rooms on the station side a bit noisy.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were surprisingly quiet, considering the proximity to the train station, although I did have a minor issue with housekeeping ignoring the 'do not disturb' sign on the first day. The service, for the most part, was courteous, though it became slightly impersonal after check-in. The hotel's location felt safe and was incredibly convenient being just a minute away from the train station, even though the decor seemed a bit dated but was exceptionally clean with all the essentials provided in the room. The dining experience met European standards and offered good value for money, but having to go to the next-door hotel was a bit inconvenient. The facilities were decent overall.
