Functional Stay Near City Center

train stationgreat cleanlinesssubway locationthin wall
The location worked well, with tram and train station nearby. The room had cleanliness. Breakfast include different options and the location was really close to the subway.
The walls were thin, this caused waking up multiple times from noises in the hall. There was some discussion in the morning.
