the location proved very convenient. it was close to the central station. the staff were pleasant (i chatted a bit with one at the reception). i liked the ports for charging devices in the room.
the bed felt quite firm. i found the pillows too hard. the room design lacked warmth, feeling a bit sparse to me.
