good breakfast helpful staff
The hotel is located close to the railway station, so it was easy to reach it. Staff are very helpful. Breakfast had a good selection of pastries, toast, and hot options like scrambled eggs. A coffee machine was also available.
The room was a bit noisy because it faced an interior courtyard.

The airport transfer was quick, i appreciated that. the staff seemed friendly enough. the rooms were always clean. That was a plus.
The plumbing made some noise, i noticed. breakfast was modest, not a lot of choices. there was no window really, just a light shaft. It wasn't great
