Very quiet nice area and staff are so friendly, they offered two beds room with a good city view. The staff also introduced some sightseeing places to us. The room is big with enough plugs. The only problem is the bed sheet is not clean, there is a small stain of blood. Otherwise the hotel is great. Location is good, not too far from the center.

Handy location. Close to many nice places yet slightly hidden away. Clean, tidy, quiet, tram nearby, close to the canal, a short walk from the park, main station and beautiful squares. Only thing is the bathroom was a tight squeeze. Otherwise, absolutely fine for a stopover and decent value for the area.

Generally very good & convenient but my room had no hot water for the two night stay, either in the shower or wash basin - at the absolute best it was nearly lukewarm a couple of times. Mentioned to reception staff for info only, I wasn’t expecting a repair & an alternative room wasn’t available.
