Great location, wonderful breakfast. The room typical European room, older small but comfortable. The windows were large and beautiful but a bit of noise from trains nearby and people. It was a bit warm so we tried to leave window cracked open but the noises made that hard. I would stay again just for the location and breakfast.

The hotel enjoys a fantastic location near the metro station, making it easy to get around. While the rooms are relatively small and on the pricier side, the exceptionally friendly staff and outstanding breakfast more than make up for it.
