I appreciated the very nice downstairs area. A cafe is located there. The staff seemed super helpful and the rooms were clean.
My room was not ready on time. They were also inflexible regarding early check-in. This was not great with luggage.

helpful staffexcellent location
I REALLY appreciated the helpful staff. they offered a free upgrade to a double room, when i asked for a room on a higher floor. the location is excellent and very central. I felt safe in the neighborhood too.
i think they SHOULD warn people about this, because it affected the accessibility.
