The provided breakfast included many choices. The location was central offering good access to surrounding amenities I was able to walk to various shops and restaurants nearby.
The absence of an elevator made accessing upper floors challenging with luggage.

Comfortable Stay with Excellent Facilities
clean roomwide selectionhigh noise
The room was spacious and clean. The shower in the bathroom was modern (with good water pressure!). Breakfast offered a wide selection of choices. I especially enjoyed the freshly baked pastries. The staff at the reception were always available and ready to help with any inquiries. They provided useful information about local attractions.
I found the noise level from the street a bit high during the night. This made it difficult to sleep without earplugs (I should have brought some).
Facilities

The hotel provides complimentary access to a fitness center. This includes cardio machines and a selection of free weights. Guests can also use the on-site parking (a convenient feature). The hotel also offers complimentary Wi-Fi access.
