the location was fine, near the train station.
The room lacked proper soundproofing. Street noise was constant even with closed blinds. a used drinking glass sat on the table when i arrived. the double bed felt hard, almost like sleeping on a board. i also only had lukewarm water in the evening and only cold water the following morning.

early luggage drop-offtrain station
I arrived earlier than the check-in time and the hotel held my luggage. This allowed me to explore before my room was available. I was charmed. The location near the train station was convenient. I walked there easily with my luggage.
The breakfast room staff seemed a bit indifferent. I waited a while to be seated.
