Central and Convenient Stay!

I found the staff consistently friendly and helpful. They provided an umbrella when needed. The room was clean. I appreciated the availability of a water station on the ground floor. Breakfast included a tasty assortment of fruit, juice, bread, and excellent coffee. The location proved convenient, a short walk from the train station and close to the tram.
The street-side room was a bit noisy at night. Earplugs might be useful.

My medium double room was clean and basic, with adequate space. The hotel rooms were very well maintained and everything was always very clean and tidy. Basic amenities were provided with no extras, as expected for a two-star rated facility.

The hotel benefits from its proximity to the central train station, a short five minute walk away. The tram stop to and from the airport is also very close by, about 100 yards. Various shops and restaurants are located nearby.
