We happily stayed at this hotel 6 years ago and the front desk was extremely helpful. Person we dealt with at check-in was not. Asked about a restaurant we had liked, told it probably wasn't there anymore. Asked for suggestions, told to turn left out of hotel, go down a few blocks, "there are a lot of restaurants." There was no menu for hotel restaurant in our room, no price list for mini-bar, no room service menu, no instructions for TV. Went back to desk, same person, she acted like these aren't typical forms to be found in hotel rooms and directed me to the hotel restaurant "if I wanted to see a menu". I was then able to get a room service menu, had dinner - the tray was still outside our door when we checked out the next day.

This hotel was conveniently located across the street from the train station. This was probably the best part of the hotel. When we checked in there was plenty of staff, but half of them were doing nothing (maybe managers). We left our bags and came back as our room wasn't ready. I came back after the normal check in time and we were told the room was ready and someone would bring out bags up. We waited 10-15 minutes and no one came with our bags so we went back down to the lobby to get them ourselves. We were told our room was ready, but when we got to it, there were no towels and I had doubts housecleaning even did anything. The second day we never got any new towels or a new bathmat so we had to use a hand towel for that. Additionally someone took out the trash but didn't replace the trash bag. There were no signs on the nuts and cookies and I assumed they were free, but they were not and I was charged like 15 euro for them! The communication between the front desk staff and the baggage staff was bad. We waited 10 minutes to retrieve our bag upon checking out. I'm not sure why the front desk people can't retrieve bags instead of calling and waiting for 1 person. The security person near the elevator seemed to be the most helpful at times, which seems ridiculous to me. There were a bunch of times I needed help and didn't even bother going to the front desk. I would probably not stay here again.

Conviently located for the station but about 20 minute walk into the historic centre. Hotel was good and clean. Bedroom was average size with a good bathroom with bath. Rooms did however feel quite dated. Breakfast was very average.
