excellent locationuseful recommendation

The location is excellent. the train station is only a minute away, and the bus stop for the airport is right nearby. A large number of trams and buses stop in the same square! i found that the staff at the reception were very helpful, providing useful recommendations.

the breakfast lacked variety. and the service was quite poor.
