Good stay

Nice hotel in a good location. It's a fairly basic 4-star and the rate was very high due to a local trade fair that was happening at the time in the city but the stay was good overall.

A well located hotel just a 10 minute walk from the main train station. My single room was very small but comfortable despite a slightly noisy air conditioning system. Reception staff were very friendly. Good breakfast.
