great locationeasy transportationsmall roomdusty corners
the location was great, close to many attractions and transportation was super easy too.
The room was much smaller than i anticipated. I could barely move around with my luggage, and it was definitely a tight squeeze. the housekeeping wasn't perfect either. I found some dust in the corners.

the sauna, it was so small. it had space for only two people, not more. the breakfast room had no windows, that's really depressing in the morning. there was no light at all, i seemed like i was in a bunker. i think the hotel could fix these small things, then it is better.

Balanced stay experience

helpful stafftram stopfresh productsperfume smellsmall roomtram track
The location was good for seeing some sights. A tram stop sits right in front of the building. The staff was very helpful. Breakfast had plenty of choice (I especially liked the fresh products).
My room was small. The hotel smells too much of perfume. The transfer could not enter the street where the entrance is, because there is a tram track.
