The hotel location was VERY convenient. It was just a short walk to the train station. The room was spacious. It had good facilities.
The pillows WERE awful. They felt lumpy and uncomfortable. The single beds felt very soft. They probably seemed worn out. I was unable to connect to the internet in the room.

convenient locationdirty carpetstingy pod
the location did its job. it was close to things, i suppose.
well, the room was a letdown. the carpet looked like it hosted a party the night before i arrived, and not a fun one. also, the promised nespresso machine only had one sad pod. talk about stingy.
