Staff were truly awesome! Everything was close by, the hotel is a great place to stay as is right beside trams and metro. All was great except the carpets could be cleaned better as they are a bit dirty in rooms and hallways.

Nice, safe location
Shower drain was a bit clogged but they sorted that very quickly, a bit dusty on some surfaces, black out curtains hard to push up against wall so it let some light in
