central location coffee machine grocery store

The hotel is near the central train station a walk of about 5 to 10 minutes. There are many shops restaurants and a grocery store nearby. I liked having both a fridge and coffee machine in the room. The location made it easy to walk to many places.

The lighting in the room was not good there was one small window. It was hard to see things in the closet area of the room. I needed to use my phone flashlight to find things.
