the location was awesome! it was super close to the city center. the staff was really nice too. the breakfast was rich and delicious
I was really disappointed. the fridge in our room was broken. all our food spoiled because of it, and water leaked onto the floor. the room was super hot, and the fan barely worked. It felt unsafe, honestly.

the double (classic) room was spacious and bright. the bathroom was a nice size with a bathtub and an in-built shower. i found the luggage rack and two chairs in the room to be very useful.
the breakfast was disappointingly basic during my week-long stay. i only found musli with joghurt or bread with ham and cheese available. hot items were limited to boiled eggs.

Central and Neat
convenient locationfull length mirrordisturbing noise
The hotel is centrally located with a tram stop about 100 meters away. The hotel provides everything a guest needs. I found a full length mirror as the bathroom door to be a great addition.
The hotel was unable to accommodate us with air conditioning. The only option was to open the windows at night, and this caused noises, like bells chiming, that woke me up all night.

The hotel rooms include books and artwork and provide some nice details. The room was perfectly clean, and I found the bed to be firm. The rooms are small however.

The hotel location was excellent, close to the train station and major attractions. The staff also arranged taxi services well.
I found some issues . The room felt quite small, and it was hot, especially during the day. The ceiling fan wasn't very effective, made the room uncomfortable and I could not properly cool down. I'm not sure what can be done about the lack of air conditioning
