The breakfast included many food options. The hotel's location is very convenient, just a short walk from the railway station and close to the town center. You can reach Andersen's house in a few minutes.
The room I had was not very clean. I don't even want to comment on the bathroom, as it was below standard. I usually don't write negative reviews.
