Very conveniently located across from the train station and local metro trains and buses. Staff was welcoming. Rooms was roomy and clean. Televisions are not ‘smart’, can’t stream. Cleaning staff was not through for daily cleanings, left dirty glasses and didn’t refill hand wash.

Nice hotel in excellent location

Excellent location / friendly staff / good room / older hotel but well maintained / comfortable bed / included a ticket for public transport during the stay which i think is a great idea / we had a room towards the front therefore it was a bit noisy from the Trams in front of the hotel but that did not bother us.

This was our second time staying at this hotel and we were looking forward to staying here again with our parents but was a little disappointed. The pillows were terrible. So flat they should be considered as blankets. We asked for more pillows and was told there’s 1 extra pillow in the room. Still not enough. So we asked for 2 more for each room and was only given 1. Staff were not as friendly as well. Breakfast was disappointing as well. They always ran out of eggs and sausages and took forever to refill.
