superb locationgreat coffeecleaning request

The location is superb. Everything felt accessible. Breakfast offered great coffee (just what I needed!).

The room cleaning was by request only, something I found out later (it wasn't clear upon arrival). I think, guests should be informed about it in advance.

The location proved very central. the breakfast offered many choices, even some vegan options for those with dietary considerations. i was pleased with the proximity to the train station. It made travel very easy.

The double bed room was very clean and well-kept. The decor simple and calming. two bedside lamps provided soft light for reading, a beautiful touch. i also had a lovely view of the cityscape from my window.
