the hotel location was marvelous. it stood near the train station, perfect for my travels. the breakfast offered various choices, and i found the personnel friendly!!!

i noticed a slight smell in the room, which bothered me a little. the wifi signal was weak at times, and this hindered my ability to work. the trams nearby created some noise, that sometimes was like a quake.

great locationgood breakfasthelpful staffearly noise

The location is excellent, very close to the train station. It is also a short walk to the main square. Breakfast offered a good selection of food options. The staff was helpful and always smiling (I did appreciate that).

My room faced the tram line. This meant there was considerable noise early in the morning.
