    The position is very close to the city centre, to restaurants, supermarkets, the metro and the train station. The room was very clean and silent too. The possibility to use a clean and well equipped kitchen was very useful.

    The location was great, only 8 minutes walking from the main square. The room was very comfortable. Each bed had a curtain for more privacy, which was nice. I had a private bathroom in my room, and that was great too. Breakfast was really good....
