convenient location great room
the location is quite convenient. it is less than 5 minutes walk to the railway station or city centre (it felt really close). easy check-in was appreciated and the room size was great with everything i needed.
i requested feather pillows, but i did not receive them. the pillows were too soft, causing a bad night's sleep.

Okay experience.

easy access spacious room poor drainage hazard curtain
I had a great breakfast. It was plentiful, and accessing it was easy because it was spread out, so queues didn't form. The room was clean and spacious, which I appreciate!
The shower didn't drain well, a little annoying. And the curtains were a bit of a biohazard. I think they should wash it!

stale pastries out of service treadmill
The breakfast was kind of a letdown, to be honest. the pastries seemed stale, and the hot food wasn't very hot. also? the gym was smaller than i expected. it had only a few machines and limited free weights. The treadmill was out of service too.

convenient location clean room accessible breakfast
the location proved convenient, close to the train station. the room was clean and spacious. breakfast was plentiful and easily accessible with a good spread, which prevented queues from forming. i appreciated these aspects .
during my visit, i found the soundproofing insufficient. noises from within the hotel disrupted my sleep. the noise level was too high, and i did not have the quiet night i hoped for.
Dining

the breakfast buffet offered many warm options. the restaurant had flexible dining arrangements. i noted an afternoon pianist in the barwith a relaxed atmosphere. it was a positive experience overall.
