wonderful stay near the station

convenient locationdaily waterair conditioning
i found the location very convenient, being so close to the train station. the room was clean and quite spacious. the staff changed used towels every day (i really appreciated that). 2 bottles of water were provided complimentary each day.
the air conditioning was turned off even though it was warm. the temperature in the room was uncomfortable. i wish they had informed us about this policy in advance. (it would have influenced my decision to book).

The air conditioning clearly had a mind of its own because it refused to work. The room turned into a sauna. Staff suggested opening a window. City tax seemed excessive at 7 euros per person per night. I felt robbed.

The hotel is within a short walk to the main square. The personnel were both helpful and very informative. Our room was both clean and well kept (i appreciated that). my stay was very positive. I also found parking readily available just a short distance away.
The walls seemed a bit thin. I could hear some noise from neighboring rooms, a slight disturbance.

The breakfast offered a good variety of choices, including an omelet with bacon. I also noted a fair amount of sweet items available. It was a satisfying way to start the day before heading out.

The location proved very convenient. Proximity to the train station aided travel. The staff was friendly and efficient. Check-in and check-out were quick. The room was quite spacious. I loved watching TV after a long day. I appreciated the honeycomb at breakfast.
The air conditioning was not working properly. I contacted the reception. I was told it was not allowed to turn it on yet. It was quite hot. I struggled to sleep well at night. It was not a pleasant experience. The hotel needs to fix it soon.
