the hotel is very close to the train station! i used the secure luggage room with a camera to store my belongings while seeing the city. the staff was friendly and helpful and there is a very cute cat that greets you at the reception desk!!! there is a bar, a shisha bar, and a coffee shop right next door.
the twisty stairs are a little inconvenient when carrying luggage.
