Staying here was a great experience overall. The hotel facilities are well-maintained and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room is compact but smartly designed with two separate beds, making it perfect for couples or friends traveling together. Everything you need is included—clean linens, good lighting, and plenty of storage space.

Breakfast is served daily, with a consistent but solid selection—hot items, fresh bread, fruit, and drinks—enough to start the day right. Location-wise, it's near the main train station, and Bus 37 goes straight to the exhibition center. While walking or taking transit takes around 30 minutes to reach the venue, it’s not too bad.
