The hotel offers spacious rooms with a separate shower and bathtub setup, equipped with an air purifier/humidifier keeping the temperature cozy even in winter. The location is convenient for early airport rides but may not be ideal for holiday vibes. The service is friendly, although English proficiency varies. The dining experience may not meet all expectations, but the facilities are well-maintained. A moderate value for money choice overall.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms felt a bit old but were spacious and nice, equipped with an air purifier/humidifier that helped maintain a cozy temperature even in winter. The staff was incredibly friendly and surprisingly fluent in English, which made my experience even more pleasant. The location, while not very close to the city, was convenient for my needs, being between two train stations and near the convention center where my conference took place.
