10/10 Excellent
"Some confusion during check in was resolved by the front desk staff after a few minutes and without any real worry on our part. Room was very modern (and very orange), but well equipped and very comfortable, Breakfast was good with a wide variety of foods available. We chose this hotel for its proximity to the central train station, which was about a three minute walk."
