“In my opinion, this hotel's greatest strength lies in its staff, who are consistently commended for their friendliness and willingness to assist. I appreciate the hotel's proximity to both the railway station and city center shops, making it easy to get around. While some may find the steps a bit challenging after an evening out, I think its location and the welcoming atmosphere offer real advantages.”
