The hotel's central location made exploring the city easy. I walked to many attractions, and nearby public transportation was convenient. My King Room was spacious and well-equipped. The bathroom's underfloor heating was a definite plus.

i liked that the hotel had a very convenient location. it was within walking distance to the central station. the room was also good. the bathroom was clean.
the standard rooms had no kettle provided. an extra charge was expected for that. there were no welcome pack notes in the rooms. i think the tv could have done with some!
