"We stayed for 4 nights, the hotel is in a pretty good location for trains and city busses. The staff is very friendly and mostly stays out of your way unless you need something then they are very helpful. We didn't try the public baths but they looked popular. The rooms are very quiet and clean. The beds are very comfortable. We loved the seperate bath/shower areas. A short walk to a lot of interesting things."
