"This hotel has thought of everything in the design of the rooms to maximize space while remaining functional. There are tons of hooks to hang things to dry, the shower was fantastic, with good water pressure and enough space. Location is great, we felt safe and were walking distance to both the old town and new town, and right next to the train station. The room was very sound proof even though we were right next to the elevator. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we appreciated having a public transit pass included."
