A Cozy, Quaint Retreat

I really liked the friendly, cute staff. The room displayed a stylish, cozy atmosphere. I just loved it. Breakfast presented a great variety. Vegan and gluten-free options were available. The location offered easy access to the city center and the train station.
The hotel does feel outdated. Certain aspects are just impractical. There wasn't a safe in the room. That seemed inconvenient.

The breakfast buffet included diverse options. Fresh fruit and a variety of pastries were available. The reception staff offered helpful information.. especially Victor. Daily 'fika' with coffee and cake in the lobby was a treat. The hotel provides complimentary tea and coffee.
The shower in my room was a little cramped.
