room decorcentral locationuseful hairdryerloud musictoilet handlecigarette smoke
The room decor possesses a certain charm. The location felt superb, really close to the train station. I also found a hairdryer, this was helpful for me.
I could hear loud music at night from the bar under the hotel. The toilet handle design, feels very clumsy. The corridors had a stale cigarette smoke, I did not like this.

The room offers a huge bed and a big bathroom. The room had contemporary decor. There was a free bottle of beer, that's a nice touch. Breakfast bag was also a good addition.
Only provided two teabags. The check in is slow because you wait for bar staff.
