convenient central location
early check-inspacious roomcosy bartram noise
i checked in an hour early, a great benefit for me. my room was spacious and included all necessities. i also enjoyed its walking distance to the theatre plus shops. the bar felt warm, also cosy.
my room faced a busy street. the noise from trams kept me awake. soundproofing would improve sleep quality.
Location
9/10
the hotel stands very near a train station. this aspect was beneficial, particularly since i carried large suitcases. avoiding stairs en route to the hotel was another big advantage.
Service
10/10
i also experienced very helpful, friendly interactions during my entire stay. their availability greatly enhanced my stay.
Dining
8/10
the hotel offered a quiet drink in peace. i found the atmosphere relaxing, very appropriate for a restful evening. i liked the selection of beverages at the bar.
