What was good and what was bad?

Good
- Friendly staff
- Very good breakfast with large choice of local products
- Central location (5 minutes walk from Central Station, with direct link to the airport)
- Bikes can be rented at the hotel (only EUR 5 a day)

Bad
- Not only wifi is not free (even for Platinums: EUR 16 a day), but it works VERY badly in the room (but quite good in the lobby). Fees have been waived at check-out (the lady said: "Yes, we know, it works very slowly in the rooms").

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes
The hotel is pleasant, but would need a soft renovation.
