the staff was really kind. location were real close to central train station. you just walk a minute. also, the room had a large modern bathroom, i liked it a lot.
i found the room quite small and it didn't had enough space for the kid's stroller. also, the hotel didn't inform about not opening the parking at night. i had to leave the car on the street. also, i had to divide the double bed with my uncle even choosing option two singles in the reservation.
