In addition to being excellent in every category, the hotel was just one block away from the train station - the central hub of all public transportation: metro, trains, buses, and trams. Public transportation was terrific. You can purchase your daily, or multiple day, pass at the airport and travel to the hotel and almost any place you want to visit during your stay.
