Close to main train station. However rail lines run right by hotel and rail cars can be noisy if you’re sensitive to noise. Helpful staff. Otherwise, no complaints.

Great location and nice modern hotel. Only possible drawback is that it is right next to a main tram/bus terminus and they sure do make a noise.

The staff were gracious enough to upgrade me to a room with a balcony - which made the stay all so memorable. The location is perfect - 5min walk from the train station, near Old Town and the main city centre. The room may be a little small but suited me as a solo traveller.
