Functional stay near public transport

convenient tramgreen initiativefriendly staffsmall bathroom
I found the proximity to the tram stop very convenient. Getting to the city center was straightforward, a real benefit. The complimentary beverages offered in exchange for declining daily room cleaning were a nice, green initiative. The staff members at reception showed to be friendly and helpful.
The bathroom felt QUITE small and could have been cleaner. The breakfast selection dwindled significantly near the end of the service hours. I wish they kept refilling it until the scheduled end.
Dining
8/10
The breakfast included standard choices, like croissants, cheese, and scrambled eggs. Several items or utensils ran out sometimes. I noticed, but staff worked to replenish them. There WAS a lack of fresh greens.
Facilities

Parking is available on-site at €16 a day, but it's free on Sundays. The tv and hairdryer worked, important. The room included both coffee and tea-making facilities.
Location

The hotel is just a short walk, approximately 3 minutes, from the tram stop. The area felt quiet and there ARE grocery stores located close by. I found a good Chinese restaurant right next to the hotel.
