Convenient Location and Functional Room

excellent locationcold drinkswelcome touchroom discomfort
The location was excellent for exploring. The tram stop just outside the hotel made getting around the city easy. I found the room spacious enough and it included a fridge useful for keeping drinks cold. Complimentary water was provided, a welcome touch after a long day.
The room lacked air conditioning, causing some discomfort during warmer periods. This affected sleep quality as it made the room stuffy even with open windows.
