convenient and clean!

great locationextensive buffetcoffee stationaccessible parking
The location is great, near the pedestrian area, a short walk to sights. the breakfast buffet was extensive, eating in the garden started my day well. the lobby coffee and tea station was available 24-7. A real bonus for early risers. public parking was nearby and easily accessible, which i found very helpful.
my room was very small compared to the price i paid, and it had very little storage in the bathroom! and space in the room

The breakfast was very good. There was a hot chocolate machine with a pleasant taste. The choice of food was enormous, and you could eat a sweet or egg-bacon breakfast. It was a lot of options.
