the location was very convenient. it was not too far from the train station. the view over the water was nice and added to the experience. the room was clean and also comfortable.
the room was quite small and smaller than the pictures. the bathroom seemed like it was added after the room was built. the lack of soundproofing was a problem. i could hear every sound in the hallway and this made the room uncomfortable.
