convenient locationfree coffeesmall roommissing lock

this hotel is super close to the main train station, a plus if you travel a lot. the team was great, and the location ended up being quiet enough. i liked that the coffee was free and available all the time.

i think the room i got was smaller than i expected. also, i noticed there was no lock on the washroom door, a bit odd. the toilet was also separate.
