Fantastic Stay Near the City Center

convenient location quiet room helpful staff
The location is convenient. Bus and tram stops are a short walk away. My room was quiet, despite facing a main road. The staff kindly stored my luggage before check-in and delivered it to my room, I also got all the needed information for my stay.
The radiator did not fully heat my room, so it was a bit chilly at night.

admirable stay

public transport helpful staff
The hotel was conveniently located near public transport routes. It made accessing the city center straightforward. the staff allowed us to leave luggage past checkout. It eased our departure considerably. i found this quite helpful as i continued sightseeing. the accommodation of luggage was very kind.
The shower cubicle seemed compact. It was difficult to move comfortably within it. i was unable to avoid bumping my elbows. I found this inconvenient. the low water pressure in the cold tap was disappointing.
