Great location! A 5 minute walk from the train, tram and even bus. Located right in the heart of the center so most things where within walking distance. The hotel itself was fantastic and clean. The rooms weren’t very spacious but it’s perfect for a quick 2/3 day trip. Staff were super friendly and helpful and recommended a great cafe for us to try.
