Kettle in room did not work. Man at reception seemed annoyed at being asked for a new one. 2nd one failed too. Room was nicely decorated. Bed was comfy but covers were too short width-wise so one of us froze each night! Coffee at breakfast was lovely. Whole grain rolls were very fresh and delicious. Great location for train station and trams.

This place is conveniently located on the lakefront. There are many restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. Lots goes on directly in front of the hotel. There was even a concert one night. You really feel as though you are immersed in the culture when you stay here. The hotel itself is clean, and the breakfast was absolutely amazing! The staff were helpful and friendly. I very much enjoyed my stay here.

Nice room in a good location - very near train station and a tram stop almost right across street. 24 hour desk staff is nice. A/C only comes on if the temps are above like 74-75 degrees so a little warm for American travelers - but we were able to open the windows, so it worked. I thought the sheets were very scratchy. Breakfast was OK, but more cereals, yogurts and breads. Would stay there again if you just needed a place to rest and shower.
