“Excelsior's station perch”
Starhotels Excelsior is a big comfortable hotel directly opposite the main station — spacious cozy rooms with lovely window views and adjustable air conditioning, a rich warm-and-cold breakfast (weak for one), a gym, a grand lobby, spotless cleanliness and polished hospitality; a booking mix-up ended in an upgrade. One caveat: a narrow revolving-door entrance fights large luggage.
