sunken mattresses outdated breakfast room
i found the beds uncomfortable they seemed like they had sunken mattresses making sleep not great the breakfast room also seemed outdated it could use some refurbishment to bring it up to the standard of the rest of the hotel i think the decor felt tired and did not match the modern style visible elsewhere.

great location helpful staff sufficient breakfast uncomfortable bed spring mattress club noise
the hotel's location proved convenient. i found myself just a short walk from the main train station. this made airport transfers simple. the staff were always ready with a smile and helpful advice. breakfast was simple yet sufficient, giving me a good start each day.
the bed wasn't the best. i could feel the springs a bit. i requested an extra blanket. noise from a nearby club kept me awake a few nights. the walls seemed thin, and the music was quite loud until late.

supermarket location gluten-free option
The location was very convenient! a supermarket was just one minute away by foot, and it had hot meals. i found the rooftop breakfast a good experience. Gluten-free options were available upon request.
the hotel lacked good soundproofing, and parties went on until 6 am almost every night.
