Just by the train station, light sleepers make sure to ask a room away from the train side as the announcement starts at 4am. It's very convenient coming from the airport and leaving to go take the buses, tram, train or even the ferry with is about 10mins away €24 taxi ride. Their buffet breakfast is in so far, the best I've had traveling the Nordic countries. Located centrally, you could walk to scenice spots downtown. Very spacious rooms just lacking FACE CLOTHS. Definitely a good stay.
