Solid Choice for a City Trip

luggage storagecoffee machinetowel supply
The hotel provided luggage storage. That was very helpful. I could get coffee from the machine at all hours, I thought that was great. My room had good supply of towels and this worked well.
The room felt a little tight.

A coffee machine operates twenty-four hours, providing coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The reception area contains available luggage storage both before check-in and after check-out, I found this to be useful.
Location
8/10
The hotel is near the Heineken Experience. This is helpful for tourists. A short walk leads to both the metro and tram, this enables quick access to other areas. I enjoyed this convenience.

adequate location with some drawbacks

convenient locationbuilding historyuncomfortable bedsmall roomshallow toilet
The location was convenient to the subway. I found that quite informative and it added a personal touch to the stay.
I found the bed uncomfortable and the room was too small for two people with luggage. Toilets were very shallow. There was no machine for boiling water.
