A Few Disappointments

The hotel has a perfect location for exploring the city centre.
I encountered noise throughout the night from the street below. A bar and bins are right opposite the building so sleeping was difficult, even though windows were closed. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and never had noise this bad before. the room was hot so air conditioning did not cool the place down.

a stay with mixed feelings

poor soundproofing limited breakfast
the location was quite central, a short walk to many attractions.
The room lacked proper soundproofing. I could clearly hear noises from the hallway at all hours. the breakfast selection was limited, and i noticed that the hotel did not refresh tea and coffee in the room..

SUPER stay!

central location free bicycles fresh breakfast
i LOVED that the location was central and near everything. Free bicycles were available for exploring the city. the breakfast included many choices and fresh options. i liked the room, it was modern and well-equipped.
street noise was an issue. soundproofing needs improvement. i couldn't sleep due to the bar right opposite and the noise outside the whole night. i think triple glazing on the windows would help tremendously.

the room included a large bed and climate control. decor was modern and pleasing. i noticed a rainfall shower in the spacious bathroom and individual climate control was useful.

convenient location train station friendly staff front desk room decoration nice decoration dirty floor bathroom floor coffee maker minibar prices
the hotel's location was really convenient. it was a short walk from the train station, about five minutes. the front desk staff was friendly and gave me helpful information about local attractions. my room was also a good size and nicely decorated.
The bathroom floor was not clean when i arrived. i saw some hair there that wasn't mine. also, i really missed having a coffee maker in the room. Only instant coffee was provided. i also found that the minibar prices were hard to find.
