The location was convenient. It was a short walk to the station and trams. The front desk staff, Roman and Martin, were helpful to me. Roman provided really good service.

I only had two thin hand towels. I did not have a full size towel after my shower. The desk and bed were close together. I could not use the chair at the desk comfortably.

the location worked well for me, as it was a short walk to the train station. trams were also very close. i found the staff to be courteous, and that really made a difference.

i noticed that the hotel offers no in-room mini-fridge. it would have been really useful. i had to pay for using the coffee machine in the lobby.
