convenient locationkind staffbreakfast varietyclean room
The location is VERY convenient, near the central station. I loved the helpfulness and kindness of all staff members. The breakfast provided a good variety, and I found the coffee machine especially convenient. The room was clean and well maintained.
The street noise at night was slightly audible, especially on the lower floors. This did not bother me too much though.
