My stay was quite pleasant overall. The hotel is located in a convenient area, just a short walk from the station, making it easy to travel around. The room was modern and quiet, though a little on the small side. While the breakfast was decent, I found the service to be a bit inconsistent. Despite a few minor issues, I would definitely consider staying here again.

I'd come back due to the security and nearby amenities, despite some minor inconveniences.
