It's a fairly small station with lots of construction currently happening so give yourself some time in case you need to go from one end to another. My hotel was located close enough so I walked over after checking out. I had more than enough time so I was able to have a proper meal while I waited for my gate number to be announced. I went through security as soon as my gate was announced then they let us board. I'm hoping the current construction is allowing them to add food options cos there wasn't much to choose from.

Nice little station in a nice neighborhood. Its always clean and I am always surprised how many…read morepeople are around. It is only served by one Metro line (the 7) so I always have to change trains to get here. My biggest trouble is finding the station when its time to leave. I usually just walk back to the center. That isn't to say its impossible to find, as I like to walk. Especially in areas that aren't filled with tourists. The area around the station is a pleasant neighborhood, My only warning is that its not a tourist area, waiters and shopkeepers don't speak English.

I mean, I should…read morehave expected it, seeing as how it's in a major city, but it's even bigger than you expect, especially when it's 6 am and you're trying to find a train. Everyone who worked here that I encountered was super nice and helpful if I asked for directions. The bathrooms were really clean too, you have to pay 1€ to use them so have change or your credit card ready. Also if you're American, prepare to go through security.
