central locationgreat peoplesqueaky bednatural light
The location were pretty central. It had easy access to the historic centre and museums. The staff has great people skills and were very helpful. I appreciate the free drinks and snacks in the lobby area.
The bed in room was squeaky. I asked the reception to fix the squeaking, but it wasn't. The room did not has a window facing out of the hotel, so there was no natural light. It wasn't ideal.
