The hotel is basic. The showers, if you're a fan of showers, are great. Above all is it's location. A two minute walk to the train station and the tram stops. You'd expect it to be noisy but it isn't. Fine for an overnight stay.

Very wonkey getting around in the hotel. You have to use two elevators and walk through many corridors but the price and location are good. Very near the train, tram, and bus. Thrifty shopping and eating nearby. The room is very large. The shower is also large. Breakfast is good. No complaints.

I booked this hotel for one night as it was an easy 5 min. walk from the train station so very convenient. The room was large w/no view and the bed was pretty hard for our liking so not the best nights sleep. The bathroom was a nice size and shower was huge! We did have the included breakfast in the morning which was fine and the gal at reception both when we checked in and out was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is also across from many tram lines which makes it easy to get around.

The room was simple and small but met our needs for our one night stay near the rail station. The staff were friendly. We used the local metro passes to get to the old historic area. I highly recommend travelers use these. There was a coffee and tea service in the hall way. Air flow was great in our room. I would stay here again.
