The location was excellent and only a 5 minute walk from the central train station. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The access to the coffee machine which made about 8 different hot drinks was fantastic. I also liked that I could fill my water bottle with sparkling or regular water. The breakfast was good with lots of choices. The room was very comfortable and quiet.
