Stayed here for 3 nights, and for the price I paid, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The central bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and the train station is just a 1–2 minute walk away. It’s also conveniently located near all the major tourist sights. The room was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was decent. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!
