really good stay!
friendly staffmodern roomcultural flavorstram line
i found the staff unbelievably friendly! the room i stayed in was modern and clean. breakfast included cultural flavors which was a good surprise. the hotel's proximity to the tram line made getting around quite simple.
The sound isolation was slightly lacking. Corridor noise was noticeable. but, all in all, it didn't affect my stay too much.
