the location is excellent. it's very near the train station and the city center is ALSO close. the fountain with swiss chocolate in the lobby is a nice touch. the staff are SUPER friendly and always helpful.

i asked for a room with twin beds BUT got something else. it was the smallest room imaginable. it was impossible for two people to open luggage at THE same time. the bed reminded me of a small queen or maybe a split mattress.

satisfactory accommodation near the station

short walkmain train stationsmall roomwall noise

the location is superb. it is only a short walk from the main train station and that helped a lot. the staff were helpful, we needed directions a couple of times and they were able to assist us

the room felt really small, especially with luggage. it was hard to move around it, not ideal. there was also some noise coming from inside the walls, it sounded like water pipes and it bothered me
