Super close to the train station.

Cons: I would have appreciated labels on the breakfast buffet. I didn't really know what jam I was eating or why there were two kinds of cocoa powder.
Location: It is not even five minutes from the train station. There's the "Werk 8" nearby. Really cool restaurant/bar.
I only stayed one night (and the night was short). I'm not sure if our room had blinds of any sort. The showers were clean, but there were spallings in all the shower pans. The price for the breakfast is good.
