Close to main train station. However rail lines run right by hotel and rail cars can be noisy if you’re sensitive to noise. Helpful staff. Otherwise, no complaints.

Great location, quiet rooms, comfy beds, very clean, good size room. My only complaint is that the bathtub/ shower combo is a bit treacherous if you have any balance or leg issues. Otherwise I'd stay there again for sure.
