The bus stop nearby made getting to the city center easy. The staff were helpful with directions and bus schedules. I appreciated the free luggage storage since I had a tour planned after my stay..
The room was small, and there wasn't a lot of space to move around.

The breakfast included a good variety, from eggs with bacon to croissants and pancakes. the location was convenient, about 15-20 minutes from the city center by bus. supermarkets and fast food options were also very close. It was easy to get food or coffee.
The layout of the room did not seem well-planned. It felt inconvenient. the bed was very close to the window, leaving little space. there was a ledge where one could easily bump their ankle.
