Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The public areas of the hotel were good 4*, but that's where you are still spending. The Classic bedroom was average 3*, no bathrobes, mineral water only for the first night, noisy wobbly sliding glass door to the bathroom offering little privacy, duvet no bigger than the width of the bed and no low level night light if you need to go to the bathroom without disturbing your partner. Main reason for booking this hotel was proximity to the train station which is only 5 minutes away.

The staff was incredibly helpful. As foreigners, we asked a lot of questions of the front desk personnel. They thoroughly answered our questions and made sure we understood. The room was clean and comfortable, although the layout was a bit strange due to the room being in a corner of the hotel. I would suggest you request a room that isn’t in one of the corners. The hotel is centrally located within walking distance of the main train station. We had several suitcases that we walked back and forth with no issues. The location of the hotel is also good if your trip involves visiting Christmas markets.
