The breakfasts were good, although the croissants were not completely fresh, there was an abundance. The view from my room was a horrid flat roof and an air condition duct but the hotel was ideally positioned opposite the railway station and next to the metro so these misgivings can be forgiven. The room came with limited free local rail travel which was a godsend.
