nice breakfast selectionkind staffconvenient tram accesssmall bathroomoutdated interiorpoor dinner quality

The breakfast offered a really nice selection. the staff was also kind. the location was in a residential area though easy to reach the city center by tram. That was convenient.

The bathroom felt ridiculously small. the tv and some interior elements looked outdated. They could use an upgrade. the dinner wasn't great, with clearly frozen fried fish and fries.
