great location food option boat trip tilted building small bed single bed

The hotel enjoys a great location. It is a short walk to the central station. Many food options are very close. Boat trips are also nearby.

The building seems tilted, and I was like I might roll out of bed. Beds are quite small. I would say they are less than a standard single.

location good, but sleep quality NOT great

street noise uncleaned room

The noise level was a major issue. I could hear everything from the street below well into the night. it made getting a good night's sleep quite difficult. also, while the location was central, my room wasn't cleaned during my entire stay. this lack of service was disappointing.
