The hotel location offered easy access to the city center. I found cleanliness throughout the hotel. The room included a well-designed shower. It was unusual. There was a freephone available for taxi arrangements.
The breakfast selection was quite limited. There was not much choice available, especially for gluten-free options, and this was a disappointment. The room temperature was TOO high. I couldn't open a window.
