Loved the area, close to everything. As well as coffee in the room. There was also a free coffee machine and lemon water to drink in the lobby. A microwave was available in the lobby too. The room was a little tight as far as size goes. It was difficult for both of us to open our suitcases at the same time. Other than that it was clean. I would recommend it to anyone.

I booked this hotel having stayed in another location previously and the service and standards remain high. Very clean and comfortable room, with a nice sized bathroom and shower. Great central location close to the main train station and trams/buses to other areas. Walkable to the river too, and with great food and drink locations around. Highly recommend.

Cleanliness, location superb. Problem getting a taxi to hotel, which is in a pedestrian zone. However, buses and teams are free and go just about everywhere with very little wait time. No coffee maker in room. No refrigerator in room, but room spacious and nicely decorated.
