cold radiators ac issue

The breakfast had a large choice of pastries. It also included a variety of fruit, ham, cheese, and breads.

The room felt OLD. I was there in November, and despite it being quite warm during the day, the nights were cold, but the radiators were cold, and the ac didn't work. Reception kept saying it would get fixed, but it didn't.

Acceptable stay NEAR the train station

convenient location fresh juice noisy air conditioning fluctuating temperature

The hotel's proximity to the main train station proved VERY convenient. It made day trips to nearby towns quite easy. The breakfast selection was also substantial. I especially appreciated the fresh orange juice.

The air conditioning in my room seemed outdated, and it struggled to keep the space cool. The shower's temperature varied unexpectedly, oscillating between hot and cold. this.
