Super convenient location

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.

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.
