Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Initially the room they gave us had central AC which I could not operate and I was feeling suffocated in the room. But when I notified the reception, immediately they changed us in another room on another floor where I can control the temperature myself. The tram service was nearby. Overall the experience was great.

Great location and beds were comfortable, family room was large and it was nice to have a table and chairs for dinner if needed. However could not use shower- it was cold and wouldn’t heat. We had to have a bath instead which wasn’t ideal.

Very comfortable beds and pillows. Sadly our room this visit attracted a lot of noise from the outside. Lighting around the mirrors not the best for getting ready for a night out either. But location is great.
