mixed feelings on this place
cramped room incorrect entrance code
The location was acceptable. It was close to transportation.
the room i had was really small and cramped. moving around the room was difficult when another person was there. the entrance code i received initially was incorrect, and this locked me out for a while.

An adequate stay
easy access convenient location spacious room friendly staff street level claustrophobic room tiny room absent reception
The location proved convenient, near tram lines that allowed easy access to transportation. The room was spacious and clean. I DID enjoy that. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. That meant a lot to me.
My room was below street level. It felt a bit claustrophobic. The room seemed TINY. There was never anyone at the reception, causing some issues with entry.

Excellent Stay Near City Center
friendly reception tea selection convenient shops easy access
The staff offered a very friendly reception. The room included a kettle along with tea and coffee (a nice touch after a long day). I found various shops and supermarkets conveniently located nearby. I could easily access transportation with trams and buses stopping close to the hotel.
The room lacked a bit of sound insulation, so I occasionally heard some street noise.

The hotel is next door to a breakfast spot, a real convenience. A selection of restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries are also nearby. Many locally owned establishments operate close to the hotel.
