The location near the train station was a big plus for exploring the city. Every night I could meet other guests on the patio, which made it a great social spot.”

Clean and organized, with work-friendly common areas. Free earplugs helped me sleep well.”

The Annex bar was the perfect place to unwind and chat with other guests late into the night. I’d definitely recommend it.”
