Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Value for money, basic room with comfy bed and good shower. However there was noise from the trams outside and elevator next to the room was noisy. Was a little disturbed by lights flashing in the room during the night. At checkout, there was no one at the reception desk and I didn't initially find the express checkout box to place the room key. Have stayed here previously and would consider staying again.

This hotel needs the 4 star rating reviewed to align with the uncleanliness, old, dirty mouldy and unpleasant odour this accomodation experience provides for you. It’s not on my recommendation list.

A great location with easy access to trams and trains. The rooms are very quiet, however, they require some basic maintenance. Our toilet roll holder was loose and unstable and the bathroom door paint was flaking off.
