Room itself was very tidy and spacious for one. Bathroom was nice and renovated. Staff was helpful. Parking was a little difficult, as the parking lot hotel provided was full.

Great location near the train station and buses Very warm in the room Good breakfast option and common room nice rooftop terrace The machine at check-in didn't accept our Hotels reservation number and none was sent to us by email, so if we had checked in 15 min later, we would have been stuck, as the employee would no longer have been there and had forgotten to send it to use, so make sure you have received a code for auto check-in

中は非常に清潔で問題ありませんでした。入口付近の道路があまり状態がよくないため、スーツケースでの移動が少し大変でした。中にはウォーターサーバーやコーヒーメーカー、電子レンジもあり、室内での食事においても不便はありません。目の前もコンビニなので、非常に利用しやすいと言えます。

사용후기

자전거대회에 참가하기위해 숙소를 고민하던중에 이곳을 선택하게 되었습니다. 장점이라면 음식점과 술집들이 많이 있어 멀리 나가지 않아도 되구요 좀 아쉬웠던부분은 베개가 누렇게 보이고 짧은머리카락이 묻어있고 샤워장이 변기와 딱붙어있어서 좀 불편하더라구요. 개인적으로 쓰는 수건과 자전거용속도계충전잭을 탁자에 내놨는데 청소하시는분이 착각하셨는지 치워져있더라구요 딱히 문제삼지 않았지만 이런부분의 대처는 아쉬웠습니다

방음 시설이 돠어 있다고 했는데 유리창을 통해 들어오는 도시의 어지러운 불빛들, 길거리 소음이 정말 다들어옴. 비가 왔는데 빗소리때문에 잠을 잘 수 없을 정도. 주차시설 잘 되어 있고 주변에 음식점, 술집이 많아 접근성은 좋다
