Very conveniently located across from the train station and local metro trains and buses. Staff was welcoming. Rooms was roomy and clean. Televisions are not ‘smart’, can’t stream. Cleaning staff was not through for daily cleanings, left dirty glasses and didn’t refill hand wash.

Nice hotel in excellent location

Excellent location / friendly staff / good room / older hotel but well maintained / comfortable bed / included a ticket for public transport during the stay which i think is a great idea / we had a room towards the front therefore it was a bit noisy from the Trams in front of the hotel but that did not bother us.
