- Light sleepers who value a soundproofed room.

Good to know
Check-in is from 14:00 to 22:00 and the hotel asks you to tell them in advance what time you will arrive. You can leave the room between 6:00 and 12:00, so there is no problem if you get up early for a train.
Ask when you book whether parking carries a charge and how to get to it, because the street is in the pedestrian zone of the centre.
