Convenient Location and Clean Rooms

convenient locationequipped roomrude cleaner
The location is very convenient near a tram stop. It only takes ten minutes to reach the city center using the tram. The rooms were clean and well equipped (I could easily control the room temperature). A public transport pass was included, and this made getting to the center fast.
One morning, the cleaner knocked to scold us for placing food waste in the corridor. The waste was properly wrapped in plastic bags. We preferred not to have the smell in the room.

The hotel has a water machine near the rooms where you can refill bottles. The staff was helpful (especially with directions). The breakfast included great high quality choices of foods, such as fresh bread and local cheeses.
