The staff's warm welcome complements the clean, spacious rooms, some boasting charming loft views; I especially appreciate the thoughtful touches like bathrobes and espresso machines.

good locationchaotic breakfastslow replacements

the location was good and allowed me to easily reach the city center.

i found the breakfast setup chaotic and poorly managed. despite being asked for a breakfast time slot to manage the traffic, it was still a struggle to get food, with items running out quickly and slow replacements. the staff seemed overwhelmed (i'm not sure if there were enough of them) and simple things like butter weren't always available.

quiet locationparking garagegrocery store

the location is very close to the city center. it is still quiet though. a public parking garage is a short walk away. a grocery store sits right across the street.

the room was slightly unclean. it didn't feel very fresh. perhaps it was the parquet floor.
