The location was fantastic for my travel plans. The room was larger than I expected with a great view. WiFi in the room worked great for me.
The windows of the room were left open. It was impossible to reach them to close so traffic noises bothered me.

the hotel location is good. i could walk to most places i needed, including the station and shops. the staff were friendly and helped me get a taxi. the room was quiet at night, a plus for sleeping (i value a good night's rest).
the hotel had stairs without carpet, only underlay. the room smelled stale, i did not like it. i saw a crack in the sink, small details matter.
