The breakfast was too simple. Little variation and the scrambled egg did not have a fresh colour and tasted rubbery.
The location of the hotel was great! It was a little bit noisy - at the street side - but fortunately they provided their guests with earplugs. The bed was comfortable.

Stayed in room 93 there were a few steps after the elevator. Wasn’t a problem for us but some people should know if they have certain mobility needs or are traveling with lots of luggage.
The breakfast was amazing. Lots of selection from pastry, eggs, cereal, cheeses and meats. The room was large for Europe and the shower was hot and powerful.

The toilet was very small. Ended up with a double rather than twin, usually in European hotels the 'doubles' are just two singles joined together, not the case here :( The door on the room is alarmed to let you know it hasn't been shut properly, would have been good to know this before trying to work out what the strange beeping noise was.
Location was brilliant, the staff were friendly, and the rooms were clean.

The street noise from the recycling truck. Staying in the front portion of the hotel and on the lower floor made it more visible. The rooms were comfortable, but there was not a lot of room to walk around.
