superb locationmetro accessnearby diningseparate annexairbnb feelpoor value

the location is superb i found it near the metro and tram stations. nearby dining spots offer great eats. i was able to easily access different parts of the area.

my room was in a separate annex i walked a little distance from the main building. the room felt more like an airbnb than a hotel. the value seemed off for what i received.

quiet Location. thank you

nice staffclose locationsteep stairshot water

the staff were nice. the hotel was a 4 minute walk from the tram and metro station. the room i stayed in was as described on the web site. the hotel does have an ELEVATOR if you do not feel like climbing the steep stairs.

as i was travelling for work i arrived close to midnight DIRECTLY from the airport just to sleep. i woke up very early to get ready to go to work and was surprised to realize there was NO hot water to shower, or use in the washbasin.

Dining

the hotel does not advertise breakfast or any meals as options. instead, you get a list of places to get breakfast. Some are almost 1 km away, yet missing Bar do, a short walk to breakfast.
