functional stay near the action

good selection underground parking helpful staff comfortable bed

the breakfast had a good selection and fresh items i appreciated the availability of underground parking with direct hotel access it cost seventeen euros per day. the staff were very helpful with directions and transport information they answered all questions clearly. the modern room featured two comfortable boxspring beds and a modern tv

the shower cabin was somewhat small and proved a little impractical i found the room decor rather bland and lacking in character it could use some improvements.
