Excellent Location and Breakfast

convenient location self-service check-in breakfast variety excellent choice
The location is convenient. The tram stops are close and take you to the central station in five minutes. I found the self-service check-in very easy. The breakfast had many options. It offered excellent variety and choice.
My room lacked a refrigerator and complimentary drinking water. There was also no visible reception contact number. This made it a bit inconvenient to address minor issues.

excessively warm room basic toiletries
the breakfast was good (especially the selection of bread).
the room was excessively warm, and i found the lack of air conditioning problematic. opening the window provided minimal relief, and sleep proved difficult to achieve. i also noted the absence of basic toiletries beyond soap in the bathroom, which i consider a standard offering.
