Excellent Location and Service

central location helpful staff
I found the location convenient. The train station is just opposite the hotel. The staff were very kind and helpful. I especially appreciated the complimentary glass of prosecco offered.
I noticed the room decor appears a bit dated. The photos online show rooms with a more modern design. My room could use some updating to match the website's presentation better, especially considering the price point.
