Lovely hotel and great location
Pros:

Rooms were clean and well equipped and comfortable. Excellent choice of breakfast and helpful staff. The hotel is walkable to the train station and close to tram to the old town.

Cons:

The screen between the bedroom and bathroom which lets alot of light in if someone has to use the bathroom at night. It also doesn't provide great privacy.
