Location, location, location
Location is great. Breakfast was good and the service by the hotel personnel was excellent, but the absence of personnel in the reception during the night gave us uncomfortable feeling in case one needs these services.

Great location - easy 5 minute walk to many restaurants, attractions, and the train station. Rooms, particularly bathrooms, are small but super functional. Full closet was nice for storage. Good breakfast selection!
