Central Gem! Highly Recommended
central location short walk modern room
The hotel's central location made exploring SUPER easy. I loved that many shops and restaurants were just a short walk away. The staff arranged a taxi for me when I needed to go to the train station. They were very prompt. The room was modern and spacious TOO.
I found that no coffee satches were provided unless I specifically asked. The tissue box was empty too, and it was not replaced. It was a small inconvenience. It mattered TO me.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast included a lot of variety! I especially appreciated the great coffee that was available each morning. They even had eggs to order. It was SO convenient and fresh, so it was a great way to start the day.
