We were travelling the next morning on the intercity bus so this hotel was very convenient. A short walk with luggage to the bus stop. The only disappointment was the service in the rooftop cafe in the morning. We had a tight timeline for the bus the next morning so we had to leave without coffee because she didn’t want to serve us till she had washed all the tables-not cool!
