The hotel is near the train station. Luggage storage was available after check out, which I found useful. I got fresh towels every day.

I noticed there were no plates available, and the hotel lacks a restaurant. The rooms are rather small. I also found the absence of a coffee machine in the room surprising, especially the lack of coffee sachets.

The hotel is a short walk from the train station , a great benefit for day trips. I also found the hotel staff to be very personable and efficient.

The hotel room had very little storage space, I saw no wardrobe or drawers. The double room was typically small , it was a badly planned hotel room.

the location is great, just a short walk from the train station. the room had independent heating and cooling and a view of the surrounding mountains. it was very modern. the ensuite bathroom was very comfortable.

the small double room had basically no storage. i found that the room was very badly planned. there was no wardrobe or drawers. there was just a small amount of hanging space against the wall.
