great locationbad staff attitudepoor room cleaning

The location was great for accessing the main train station. District 1 is awesome.

The female staff at reception had a bad attitude. This annoyed me. Room cleaning was also poor. The cleaning staff did not make the bed well, and left both windows open in winter. The washroom was not cleaned nicely either.

quality breadsfriendly staff

The location is near the main train station. A large Coop grocery store is on the way, so buying needed items is simple. The breakfast had quality breads, pastries, fruits, cheeses, yogurt, and muesli. The breakfast also included scrambled eggs (I appreciated that).

The air conditioning unit seemed ineffective, made the room warm.
