Excellent Stay Near the Station

short walkfriendly staffample spacemissing screen
The hotel is a short walk from the main train station. Reception staff were friendly and helpful with directions. Several restaurants and cafes are very close. There was enough space to put luggage without it getting in the way.
The room lacked screens. I opened the window and got several mosquito bites.
