convenient location super clean facilities polite staff small room heating issue dark room
The location was SUPER convenient to everything I wanted to see! Friendly staff, super clean facilities, and the shower was just great. I also appreciated the upbeat decor, it was easy to use the tech in the room, and staff were very polite.
The room i stayed in was ridiculously small and had a odour of poo when the heating was on. Breakfast wasn't included or offered as an option, though i paid more than other couples staying the same amount of time who DID get breakfast. The room was very dark, with no room to even put our luggage.

Acceptable Location, Noticeable Shortcomings
excessively dark room scraping chair
The location proved acceptable due to its central position.
My room was excessively dark, a feature I found rather unpleasant. The lighting design made it difficult to see even with all the lights on, and the light switches complicated things. noise from what I believe was the restaurant below made it hard to sleep. I could hear chairs scraping late into the evening.

Central Location and Friendly Service

I appreciated the hotel's location in the heart of the city. A tram stop is conveniently located near the hotel, giving easy access to many attractions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were always willing to assist with any questions I had.
The room I stayed in felt a bit small. There was not much space for storing luggage, especially with multiple bags, and there were very few hangers for clothes, which presented an issue.
