Nothing much.

We stayed a one night in this hotel as a family. The overall experience was particularly good and the hotel met our needs. The room was a normal size, with one double bed and one sofa bed. The toilet was equipped with a standard shower. The hotel also has a separate sauna and pool area, but we did not use it. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options. Everything went well and we had a great time.

Being a hotel next to the railway station my expectations were really low, but since I arrived around 11PM and left right after breakfast it didn't really matter to me. I was exceptionally surprised how nice this hotel actually was. Arriving late, the receptionist greeted us with warm familiarity regardless of the time of day. This hotel is near perfect for a 1-2 night stay if all you're looking for is sleeping and breakfast. The family room was spacious and both myself & the wife as well as the kids slept well. In the morning I was again surprised at the variety of options at the breakfast buffet. When something ran out it got replaced quickly, so you didn't really need to wait for anything either.

The cleaning staff was active, but when bigger crowds arrived around peak hours then the tables could've been cleaned faster from dirty plates and glasses. The "don't throw away yesterdays food" part of the buffet is a nice idea, but I took 3-4 tomatoes from there and one of them had definitely gone bad - the taste was really off. Perhaps try and select what to bring out the next day a bit better, especially when it comes to fruits or vegetables.
