the location was certainly a highlight. it was convenient for exploring the surrounding areas. breakfast offered a good variety of choices each morning.
The room lacked a view. I faced a wall throughout my stay. noise from a nearby nightclub persisted until early morning hours. this made sleep difficult.

My room on the fifth floor had super cute design touches! i really enjoyed relaxing there. the bath tub was huge and i found the freely available conditioner and body lotion very practical. free water and hot drinks were also provided. That's always a plus!
The noise from outside was a slight issue. With windows open, it was a bit loud, but that's expected in a central location.
