Location was superb—walking distance to city center and the central railway station. The rooms were clean, and everyone was friendly.

Good location and nice lobby with good kitchen facilities for all guests. However, our "private room with window" turned out to be non-ventilated, and the window was deliberately locked. The result being that there was no fresh air whatsoever and about 25 degrees room temperature for the night.
