The hotel has a good location within easy reach of Central Station which gives you great access to the public transport network. The hotel itself is a little tired, but comfortable and the breakfast is fine. Makes a cost effective base for a visit to the city.

Old but Charming

Kind of a budget hotel with upscale but retro conveniences. For an Asian “Foodie” you can’t having a layover here! Not too far from the airport and plenty of public (an easy to get to) transportation to take you wherever you want
