The hotel is centrally located and walkable to the HB station. There is an excellent vegan buffet place right opposite this place where we had dinner two nights in a row 😊. Their breakfast was excellent. The only complaint I have is that their bathroom had see through glass doors and since there is only one room, there is zero privacy.
