we booked a superior double room and found it to be a very nice size. it featured a lovely balcony, complete with two chairs and a small table, a perfect spot for sharing moments. the hotel offered different kinds of coffee for free in the main lobby. this was convenient for enjoying a quick beverage before heading out for the day.
the noise was sometimes noticeable due to the surrounding area.

The location near the central train station was VERY convenient. I also appreciated that the room was clean. Breakfast offered a decent selection of foods.
The room faced the street and was TOO noisy. There was no refrigerator in the room, a feature I missed. The air conditioning did not seem to cool the room adequately.
