"Excellent location within just a few minutes walk to train station. Hotel rooms are on the small side, but clean and well maintained. Most people probably pick this hotel for it's location near train station. Easy to get to airport. Breakfast was good and the movie room is cute. We didn't watch a movie but would have been fun if we had more time. Vibe of hotel is very hip and funky. Reception desk did an excellent job multi tasking - lots of people checking in all at the same time and it was handled with no problem."

Good value with that considered."
