Mediocre stay. Some issues

limited breakfast options lack of variety
the location was central making it easy to reach the train station.
I found the breakfast quite limited. It lacked variety and hot options, a bit disappointing. the selection seemed repetitive each morning. i would have preferred a more diverse offering.

The balcony was shared, its true, and that meant i have had to keep the curtains shut most of the time to feel private. no fridge in the room either. I have expected more. the breakfast felt a bit cheap with limited options and not many fresh things. i thought, maybe this is overrated.
