Right middle of the town. Good location! Drinking water from the tap in the bedroom so cold and fresh. Best drinking water in the world as they say and it’s true. I would recommend this hotel and will go back.

The check-in in this hotel has been terrible and still is. Too long waiting time. But the staff is very friendly. Also we could hardly notice any refurbisment except that cooling in the rooms was broken and the windows could not be opened like earlier. Very painful night, hardly any sleeping.
Pretty nice hotel. Nothing special about the rooms but public areas very nice. A busy place - lots of groups meeting here. Great breakfast served. Just a couple blocks from train station so pretty convenient.
