The location was very close to the city center. I found it a nice area to walk around. The room felt warm and bright. Everything worked perfectly.
The hotel website promised a safe in the room. I found there was no safe. The website also promised a minibar. This was not available either. I also noticed the square meters listed on the site were not correct as the rooms were smaller.

The location was super convenient, just a short walk from key points. The staff were friendly and very helpful with directions. Breakfast offered a good, varied selection of food, a great way to start the day. I especially appreciated the room upgrade.
The room was very simple, with few concessions to comfort, such as a narrow and short bed.
