great stay near the station

convenient location friendly staff complimentary cheese
i found the location very convenient near the train stations. the staff was helpful and friendly, assisting me with directions. the complimentary cheese and wine in the evening was a nice touch (i especially enjoyed the cheese selection).
The room was a bit small. Opening two cabin-sized suitcases at the same time was difficult due to limited space.

traffic noise cold room
The staff were cute and helpful. I was pleased that the room provided drinking water and toiletries.
The room was very noisy due to traffic. I noticed a draft coming in from the window. The cold room had the sound of a boiler or running water all night (i found it difficult to sleep).

Acceptable, But With Issues

small room size constant running water
The location was good (right in the centre, as they say).
The room size was smaller than I anticipated. The bed was situated against the wall, so getting in and out on that side was a hassle. I could hear water running constantly as other guests used their showers. It sometimes sounded like someone was showering in my own room. (Not exactly relaxing, was it?)

The location was CENTRAL to everything. I could easily walk to shops and restaurants, VERY convenient. I found the staff friendly and eager to help with directions and recommendations. The happy hour with cheese and wine was a Good perk.
I did notice a slightly annoying noise from what sounded like the ventilation system.

charming stay in the city center

great location friendly staff comfortable stay
the location was really great (i walked everywhere!). the staff were all friendly and helpful. my double room without window was compact but perfect for a solo traveler. it had everything i needed for a comfortable stay.
the breakfast buffet felt overpriced for the limited selection available. i ended up finding cheaper and better options nearby.

there is a complimentary wine and cheese reception offered a few nights a week. it is offered nightly if you join their z hotel club (something to consider!). this adds value for a relaxed evening option.
