Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's convenient location near public transport and dining options. However, many reviews highlighted significant noise issues from the street and trains, making it difficult to sleep. Additionally, there were complaints about the service, with some guests feeling misled regarding room selections and experiencing unhelpful staff. Overall, while the location is a strong point, the noise and service quality detracted from the experience.AI-generated from customer reviews
