Great location, easy walking distance to south train station & old town. Lots of restaurants, cafes around. Rooms are small but efficient. Temps were 39c ,there was a fan in the room but no ac. This is common in Europe. The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. Room was a bit pricey however it was Ironman Triathlon wekend so may have accounted for the cost. Overall, because of lication would stay here again.

Everything in the hotel was fine. However, because I had to change the booking, I was unaware I had to leave the hotel one day before my plans. It would be useful, especially for older travelers like us, to remind the dates for the stay during check-in such that any discrepancy would be easily solved.
