Centrally located and close to main train station. I wish they had better pillows and had some luggage racks. We could hear foot steps from floor above (we were on third floor). Room was beautifully decorated with good vibes. We used the Nespresso machine near the front office since there was no tea kettle in the room.

Maybe the most helpful stuff I have seen in a hotel ever. Very professional and they were genuinely trying to make us feel as welcome as it can get. The location of the hotel is 10-15 minutes walk from the central station. There is a restaurant downstairs and several cafes and restaurants within few minutes of walk. Also there’s a big supermarket around the corner. The only tiny comment is that the entrance could be slightly more accessible as we have a baby and the stroller required some manoeuvres when trying to exit.
