"Super clean, friendly staff and great breakfast options (scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, cereal, fruits, granola, yoghurt, cold meats and cheeses, variety of juices). The room was very comfortable and for the hotel, room and breakfast it was a very good deal. Not super close to the city centre but easy to get to by a bus and then train, or 20-25 mins in a taxi. I would recommend staying here and the travelling in as it is cheaper than a hotel in the centre, and quieter too."
