“What stands out is the location, a short walk from the train station and key attractions, enhanced by the responsive and helpful staff. The recently renovated bathrooms are a plus, though some found the sofa bed less comfortable than the king. I think its optimal for travellers who prioritize convenience and a central base for exploring the city.”
