Grateful for the Central Location

nice hosts fabulous room comfortable bed excellent location

I found the hosts to be very nice and cute. The room provided was quite fabulous, including a comfortable bed for rest. The location worked well, not being directly in the city center's busy atmosphere, but still directly off the tram line. I will consider another stay here because the hotel met my needs very well.

The outside noise could get a little loud due to close proximity to trams. This is a very slight inconvenience, nothing major.

helpful staff live music ideal location terrible bed loud creaking tram noise

the staff were helpful, i have to say. the pub downstairs had live music. it meant we didn't have to leave the building. the location was ideal to me.

the bed was terrible and loud. i had to wedge a spoon in the bed frame to help with the creaking. outside noise was a little noisy, you know. we were very close to trams.
