Super convenient location

tram stop helpful staff free transport clean room

The tram stop is directly opposite the hotel, AMAZING!!! This made getting around easy. The staff were friendly and helpful. I received a pass for free public transport. The room was clean and all listed amenities were present.

The room was a bit too basic for my taste. I found the absence of a wardrobe slightly inconvenient, even for a short stay.

basic stay with some issues

loose socket small room

the hotel is directly opposite a tram stop. it was convenient.

The electrical sockets seemed loose. i worry about safety, especially with kids around. the toilet door also lacked a lock. It pushed open and the room felt small.
