Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The public areas of the hotel were good 4*, but that's where you are still spending. The Classic bedroom was average 3*, no bathrobes, mineral water only for the first night, noisy wobbly sliding glass door to the bathroom offering little privacy, duvet no bigger than the width of the bed and no low level night light if you need to go to the bathroom without disturbing your partner. Main reason for booking this hotel was proximity to the train station which is only 5 minutes away.
