excellent stay!
quiet area clean room comfortable bed helpful staff
The location was great. It was in a quiet area, a short distance from the city center. the room was very comfy and tidy (especially the bed). i was able to drop off my bags early, which i appreciated. the staff were helpful and knowledgeable.
the heating system had specific operating times, only turning on from around 6:30 am and off during certain hours of the night and again around 7-8 am. the room felt a little cold at times.

Wonderful Stay Near the Tram
central location clean room modern bathroom
The location allowed for easy access to the city center via a short tram ride. The room was clean and provided all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the modern bathroom and its efficient functionality (it really streamlined my morning routine).
The room, though adequate, was a bit smaller than anticipated.

Many restaurants and stores are located nearby, providing convenient options for meals and supplies. Several pubs offer classic dishes plus local options, catering to different tastes and schedules. This made finding a quick bite very simple.

The room was clean and had everything i needed, like toiletries and a hair dryer. tea and coffee were available in the room, with supplies replenished daily. the shower was particularly lovely. I appreciated that detail.
The room was quite small. I think it would feel cramped for two people. the pillows felt old and hard. They could use an upgrade. the heating system seemed to have a schedule. It was off during certain hours, made the room cold.
