An unbeatable location very close to the train station, but not loud like being near mass transit can be. The breakfast was nice, and I liked how walkable the area was.

Location, location, location
Location is great. Breakfast was good and the service by the hotel personnel was excellent, but the absence of personnel in the reception during the night gave us uncomfortable feeling in case one needs these services.
