Excellent Central Stay

helpful staff breakfast service
The front desk staff proved nice and helpful . They arranged a difficult restaurant reservation for me one evening. I found the breakfast service provided a different variety of choices each day.
I noticed there was no heater or air conditioning in the room. I had to open the windows to cool down the room, but street noise disturbed my sleep.

The hotel is very close to various restaurants and shopping areas. It is also just a few meters away from the train station. The river is just alongside the hotel.

Good location. Some drawbacks

excellent location clean room helpful staff street noise insufficient fridge warm room
The location worked very well. It allowed easy access to the city center. The room was quite clean upon arrival. The staff at the front desk offered assistance with directions..
The room lacked air conditioning. The temperature was too warm for my liking. Street noise at night was a bit disruptive. The minibar in the room occupied most of the small fridge space..
