Great location and a good breakfast.
My room, no window, just a skylight and the room ceiling divided into two parts. The room was also hot at night so I slept badly.

Location. Cleaning. Nice staff
The smell in the room. It was like a sensor was spraying something out in the room. Even when I was away all day and the window was open, it smelt weird when I came back

Clean, central location, comfortable room
Building was maze-like and so some rooms are really far away from the entrance and require short stairs and multiple elevators

We thought the room was exceptional, largely because of the view. As always with Motel One the room and its facilities were of a very high standard.
The check-in was very slow and staff spent an inordinate amount of time trying to check in a drunken party. The breakfast area was chaotic compared to other Motel One hotels I have stayed in.

Stylish, amazing location (close to literally everything, train station less than 5min walk), polite and helpful staff, comfortable bed and we got quite a nice view from our room
Bad air circulation when showering and it would have been nice to have a closet or more space to put clothes away so we wouldn’t have to climb over suitcases in a relatively small room.
