functional kitchen blockout curtains train noise constant noise
The room offered a lovely view of the river. It was fabulous to sit on the balcony. The kitchen had everything I needed for my short stay. The blockout curtains (they were very effective) ensured a good sleep.
The train noise was noticeable. It was fairly constant from early morning to late at night. The trains rumbled over the metal bridges on the other side of the road.

Fantastic Stay in Central Location
well-equipped rooms daily housekeeping quick response convenient parking
The hotel offers rooms that are very well-equipped. Housekeeping services are available daily. The staff responded quickly when we requested help to change the bedsheet. The hotel's own parking area is convenient.
I was a little disappointed that laundry powder was not provided.

I found the a la carte breakfast to be a great value. The eggs with mozzarella, bacon, tomatoes, and greens were delicious. The cheese omelette souffle with tomatoes and greens was also excellent it felt light and airy.

small screen deactivated cards
the apartment was a good size and had all necessary facilities.
The shower was a joke. It was impossible to shower without wetting the whole bathroom because the screen was too small. there was a washing machine, but no detergent was supplied, so it was useless. our access cards were deactivated after the first night. This was fixed, but it was still inconvenient.
