Acceptable, But Room had Issues

unsecured windowrude staff
The room were not the best. A very large window lead onto a patio of grass. It was connected to other doors and windows. It was easy enough for a person to climb in and out. The window didn't lock and would swing open. Staff attitude regarding the issue were poor.

The hotel is near public transport! (this made getting around super easy) i used the free city travel card, it was awesome. it gave me access to everything around the city. the staff was friendly too. They gave great tips to visit local spots.
the room was a bit small (cozy is one word i could use, haha). i also noticed the window could not be opened, so the air felt stuffy. it's manageable for a short stay though.

super convenient stop!

Public transport access proved EASY! A short walk connected me to trams. They run directly to both the city center and the main station. The 24-hour reception was GREAT, especially since my check-in occurred at midnight after a flight delay. They gave me a voucher for discounts at city attractions and free rides on public transportation.
the room felt rather small, but i made it work.

convenient stay near transport links

useful locationvending machinesconstant noise
The location proved useful. it was a short walk from the train station and tram stops were nearby. the room had blinds on the window, i found this helpful for sleep. breakfast offered good variety with both sweet and savoury options. plant based milks were also available. staff consistently refilled the buffet. We appreciated that. the ground floor lounge included a microwave. vending machines offered snacks and coffee.
the air conditioning did not work. the room was warmer than outside despite my expectations. i was given a key to open the windows to cool the room. this helped cool the room. i could then hear noise from the train station. the constant noise disturbed my sleep.
