The location is unbeatable. It's close to the main train station! The staff helped with an early check-in, a lifesaver. I really appreciated the cleanliness. The hotel was very neat! Plus, free coffee and tea available 24/7 is such a nice touch.

My room faced a busy street, and the noise at night made sleeping difficult.

The breakfast included many choices, even for vegans, but no meat was available. It included bread, cereals, and fruit. Free coffee and tea are available in the lobby, and guests can eat their own food there and use the microwave. That's a plus!
