the location was really central. it was very close to many attractions with important historical significance. i particularly appreciated the proximity to the tram station, very convenient for getting around. christina at the reception was helpful too.

The room i had was quite small. i asked for an iron and was given one that was very dirty, almost rusty. the breakfast buffet was also a little lacking. Items were not always replenished promptly.

The staff showed great kindness. Receptionist Kristina especially stands out. The hotel boasts a very central location. Major attractions are quite close. The tram station is also a short walk, about a minute away, made getting around easy. I found this valuable.

It was not ideal, and it did impact the peace in the room.
