totally awesome stay!

central location breakfast options helpful staff electric kettle
The location rules. It's right where everything happens. the breakfast includes many options, like fresh pastries and smoked salmon. the staff was on point. They helped me with everything i needed, including printing my boarding pass, and i saw that room service was available until late at night. i liked that my room includes an electric kettle and a selection of teas.
The elevator was sometimes slow. I think many guests used it at the same time.

My room features a modern design with functional furniture. I see that each room has a flat-screen television with international channels plus a safe. the blackout curtains works great for a good night's sleep. They blocked all the light. the bed includes quality linens.

The hotel offers complimentary access to a sauna. It's open every day. the lobby is spacious with comfortable seating areas. I noticed many guests relaxing there. i saw a tour desk in the lobby. They book local excursions, i think.

I found the soundproofing quite poor. Noise from other rooms was noticeable. The bed was also not very stable. It shook a lot anytime my partner moved, this affected sleep quality considerably. This was frustrating. I didn't expect these problems at this price point.
