The location was excellent , easy to access. The staff was very cute and helpful.
There was poor heating in the room , only a 750w wall mounted radiator. This wasn't enough to warm the room up , I had to use the hair dryer to keep warm.

The location allowed quick access to public transportation. The tram stop was very close to the front door, made getting into the city easy.
The lighting in the room was dim, and I found it hard to get enough light to read.
