The gym is lovely and the sauna area is superb. The hotel breakfast offered so much choice, and it was very good quality! The room was very clean, and the hotel felt spacious, too.
The invoice included an unexpected '7% city and culture tax'.

the hotel's location is very good and close to the city. the train station is just outside the door. despite the central position, the street is a cul-de-sac, so you do not feel the noise of the city.
