Solid city stay
convenient locationbreakfast optionsfriendly staffsoundproofing issues
The location was convenient. I easily walked to the city center. The breakfast offered cooked-to-order options and tasted quite good. A nearby car park provided parking, costing only a reasonable amount until the morning. The staff were friendly.
The room lacked sufficient soundproofing. I could clearly hear noise from outside and adjacent rooms. I found it disrupted my sleep.

I found the hotel well-located.
The staff did not offer any assistance with luggage from my second-floor room, this I found very disappointing. The lack of help was not what I expected.
