Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were lovely and the room itself was clean, as was the bed. The bathroom however stunk of damp but on the surface it looked clean to be fair, could have been the lack of ventilation. It wouldn’t put me off staying there again. Enjoyed my stay overall and would consider the hotel again.

The receptionist was great and friendly. We asked for a fan and in spite of the language barrier she gave us a cooler for the room which helped with the heat

Very nice place, helpful staff. A bit of a walk from old town but it is right on the tram line. You can go outside and catch a tram right to the airport. Rooms are small but very nice. Lots of restaurants and pubs around.

An urban hotel located on a cul-de-sac. Conveniently located along the tram line. A very clean, small room. It has an updated bathroom with a rain shower. Nice. The exterior needs some TLC.
