The breakfast was perfect with a good choice of pastries and juices. the hotel location is great. It is a short walk to the city center. the staff helped me to prepare a breakfast bag when i had to leave early. i found the team very kind.

the pillows were uncomfortable, and i found the bed to be the same. a proper shower head would be an improvement, as most of the water came out of the top. i had to turn the water down to a trickle.
