fantastic location breakfast options small room street noise
the location was fantastic, steps from the tram line, made getting to and from the airport simple. the breakfast had many options, and the staff kept it well-stocked (i especially liked the pastries!).
My room seemed smaller than expected, and space around the bed was quite tight. the soundproofing wasn't great. Street noise was noticeable, especially early in the morning.

i noticed sounds and voices from outside throughout the night. this made it a little hard to fall asleep easily. perhaps better soundproofing could address this issue .
