The is located close to transportation and shopping. It’s clean and has the modern conveniences for travelers. The breakfast was excellent but the staff gave us incorrect information about the Sunday bruch and breakfast arrangements which led to us not having breakfast as usual as we intended to have the bruch as it was timed closer to our departure for a long train trip. Generally the stay was great!

All was amazing apart from trying to get served in the bar area, the barstaff seem to actively avoid making eye contact. Apart from that all great and reception staff were really helpful
