excellent stay in a prime location

central location hotel lobby prompt service water purifier
the location is central. trams are just outside the hotel, providing easy access to many attractions. the hotel lobby has a water purifier, an amenity i found useful. the staff were generally courteous, and room service was prompt and fairly priced.
i found that self-parking was not directly at the hotel. it required a five-minute walk, which could be a bit inconvenient in rainy weather.
Dining

the breakfast offered a standard selection of hot and cold items, including a decent range of pastries. i especially liked the coffee machine, it delivered a good cup every time (this is important to me).
