This is a great little hotel. It’s very well situated, close to the train station. It’s an active area but the sound insulation is excellent. The room was clean and comfortable, and the space was laid out well. The breakfast buffet was really good and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Hotel Refused to Allow us to Change dates of stay.

We were not able to make trip at this time due to a Visa issue for my wife. We asked if the hotel would allow us to change the dates of our stay. We offered to pay a change fee if they would, but hotel refused our request. I believe this maybe a wonderful hotel, but I cannot recommend it as they are to strict in their policies. We were charged for full price of stay even though we never stayed at hotel, over $1000.00 USD.
