Decent hotel and location
Pros:

Stayed here for three nights prior to moving on to other European cities. Hotel was fine. Nothing exciting. Room was adequate and clean. Front desk was accommodating. Seems to be centrally located. Easy to grab trains or cabs. If the price is right, I would definitely suggest staying here. Definitely not a place to pay premium price however.
