fantastic location and service

quick check-inhelpful staffconvenient deliveriesventilation lack

i really liked the kind lobby attendant, he checked me in quickly and explained the parking access. the staff even cooked our store-bought schnitzels, which i found very helpful. delivery services brought items directly to my room, which i found convenient.

the room lacked ventilation, a bit disappointing.

the staff was very friendly and helpful. the location allowed easy walking to the media park and the city center. the bathroom was compact but included everything needed like good water pressure.

the room quality seemed poor with uncomfortable beds. the pillows caused a stiff neck each morning. bed sheets did not fit adequately on the bed.
