Great location, lots of lovely quaint cafes around, close to multiple tram stops, shops such as Lidl within a 5 minute walk. Very convenient place. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The hotel is in a good area, you can walk to everything from 10 to 40 min to all attractions, in a safety area. We had the penthouse but wasn't that clean the toilet and shower. The blinds full of dust. Big bed, veey comfy to sleep and bedding all clean. Amazing view from the top. Breakfast decent, very good, a bit of everything if you arrive before 9 am, after that you need to wait to bring more. Overall its ok.
