Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.
