Smooth check in. Room very quiet despite being next to lift. We booked a family room, room was small for a family of four, we were just staying one night before our flight so it was fine but would have been a struggle if staying longer.

The ambiance and indoor was really great and friendly staff. Only thing which we suffered with was extremely hot indoors. We asked for air conditioning which was apparently not possible when the building heating is on. It was really hard for us to sleep as we were boiling hot. The kind staff helped us open window (which we could not by ourselves since the city bylaw does not allow people to open windows). but that did not help

It was very close to the train station, which was convenient but The parts of the city that you would want to spend time in were about a15 minute walk away. There is excellent public transportation very conveniently located but we did not use it.

All good.

Everything was good. Room ok,bathroom ok. Breakfast not with huge variety but tasty and fresh. Location very good near tram station just 5 stops to old city and 2 stops from train station. The only negative was the mattress and especially pillows which were very hard.

Slightly overpriced but good hotel and great staff

Conveniently located. Clean and comfortable overall. A bit on the high side for price, particularly considering breakfast is not included. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
