My room was bigger than i thought it would be. The location was PERFECT!!! It was easy to use the tram or just walk to everything this city offers.
The breakfast menu was basic. I thought the selection could have been better.

Central Stay with Great Amenities

dyson hairdryerchristmas treecoffee machinetraffic noise
The room had a Dyson hairdryer. I appreciated the Christmas tree that was in the room. It had a coffee pod machine. We also found extra tea in cabinets on each floor.
The traffic created noise, as the hotel is right on a main road. The hotel provided a sleep kit with an eye mask and earplugs to combat this. Keeping the window open overnight was not an option due to the early morning traffic.
