the location is ideal. it is just a short walk from the main train station. the coffee machines on every floor and at the reception were a good touch (i certainly enjoyed them!).
the facilities were not quite what i expected. the king bed was two singles put together, not ideal for a couple. also, the shower had shower gel, conditioner, and shampoo all combined into one product.
