i found the location quite convenient to all attractions. the breakfast options presented a good variety, i was especially impressed with the fresh croissants. the staff offered quick assistance and were readily available when needed.
my room was directly above the street, it did suffer from noticeable street noise, especially during the early morning hours. this caused some disturbance to my sleep.

Acceptable stay with some issues
convenient locationsmall roomsmall breakfast
The location was really convenient, right in the center of everything.
The room i had was not like the pictures online. It felt quite small, actually (smaller than anticipated). i noticed that the breakfast was just a small continental spread.

a bit lackluster
room noisebreakfast area
the room was noisy due to its location on the first floor near the breakfast area this meant i was woken up early by staff preparing the room and guests coming in for breakfast the doors to the breakfast room were wide open allowing all the noise to come into my room i did not sleep well.

the location is excellent. it is a short distance to the railway station and main attractions. the hotel is near several restaurants. my room was a single, but it made good use of the available space and included room facilities.
the breakfast was not satisfactory. the coffee was subpar, and the orange juice quality was low. the cheese options were also not good.
