the hotel is in a very central location with a bus stop nearby for direct airport transport. my room had a coffee machine with fresh capsules daily. i also had a kettle, hairdryer, and iron, all very useful. cookies and water were available and refreshed each day.
I encountered an issue with the bathroom. It was fully wheelchair accessible. this meant handrails, an open shower, and a different sink were present. these features were not comfortable for me, as i do not require them.
