Basic Hotel, Pricey Stay
small room dissapointing value
The location was great, especially for seeing main attractions.
The room was too small. It was not ideal with our luggage. I felt the room cost did not match the value I received. It was quite disappointing.

Excellent City Center Location
superb location city center convenient tram
The location was superb. It sits in the heart of the city center. Tram 4 from the train station dropped us right near the hotel, very convenient. A lovely church sits a short walk away. I enjoyed the views.
The absence of on-site parking posed a slight inconvenience.
