"Best breakfast I've ever had in a hotel, so much choice and all fresh too, something for everyone!"
"Just in the city center, 15 min walking from train station, tram in front of the hotel but there is good acoustic insulation."
"Location was excellent, right in the heart of the city but away from most of the noise, yet a relatively short walk to the nearest train station."

Acceptable Location. Notable Carpet Condition
suitable locationunclean carpets
The hotel's location proved suitable for city exploration.
The carpets throughout the hotel were noticeably unclean. This detracted from the overall experience, and I hope that this can be resolved soon. They require replacement, and I expect better.

i found the breakfast to be delicious, it had many options. i really liked the location too, it was easy to reach all parts of the city by foot (no need for public transport!).
the carpet in the main hallway of my floor seemed quite dirty. the room was also small and not very easy to move around in, i felt (it was a bit cramped).

The location was really practical for visiting attractions in the city center , also accessing public transport was easy. I was fortunate to get a room on the top floor with a nice view , I appreciated that. Breakfast had many options and was great.
The hallway carpets need changing desperately , they looked very bad. My room was small and not as clean as I expected. The room lacked space for luggage.
