Excellent Stay Near the Park

comfortable bednice beddinghistoric buildingchargeable drink
The room had comfortable beds and nice bedding. Twin beds were requested, and they were pushed together with separate bedding.. It was easy to move them apart. I appreciated the hotel's location and historic building. The tram stops nearby provided convenient access.
The minibar was completely full of chargeable drinks. There was very little space for personal use. there was no complimentary bottled water in the room.

the hotel had a park setting and it was very quiet. there were little restaurants around i could walk to for breakfast. the hotel restaurant was nice too.
i was disappointed the walls are terribly thin. i stayed for just one night. at night, other guests were running in the hallway, it seemed like i was sleeping without any walls. the staff wasnt friendly either.

great park location

green parkluggage storagesmall room
the hotel is next to a lovely green park. it is a short walk to a tram stop, this allows easy access to the city center and tourist hotspots. individual luggage storage lockers were very secure, i used them between checking out and flying home. this.
the shower lacked a door, so the entire room got wet after showering. the room was very small, even with a second floor. there wasn't adequate space for the amount spent.
