The location is very convenient.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Don't depend on the Internet connection.
This hotel offers free Wi-Fi, to its guests, but a few people had a hard time taking advantage of that. The reported that the connection was slow, and that it would cut out randomly.
negative:
The walls lack soundproofing.
Guests described the walls as being paper thin. Some even went so far as to say that it would have been possible to hold a normal conversation with the person in the neighboring room through the wall. For guests who had the misfortune of being placed next to rowdy neighbhours, this was particularly problematic, as it disrupted their sleep and severely impacted their stay.
negative:
The decor is a little outdated.
A few guests expressed that they had hoped the hotel might have slightly more modern furnishings. They found the current style to be lacking in appeal, and hoped that an update may be coming soon.
