Central and Convenient Stay!

I found the staff consistently friendly and helpful. They provided an umbrella when needed. The room was clean. I appreciated the availability of a water station on the ground floor. Breakfast included a tasty assortment of fruit, juice, bread, and excellent coffee. The location proved convenient, a short walk from the train station and close to the tram.
The street-side room was a bit noisy at night. Earplugs might be useful.
