great location but extremely noisy
Pros:

location, comfy beds, supportive staff

Cons:

very noisy, impossible to sleep. There is a renovation site just in front of the hotel and the workers starts between 6-7am. It’s disappointing that the hotel did not inform about the construction noise on their website. There is also a bar with outdoor tables rights under the windows oc the hotel.
