Guests frequently highlight the spacious and nicely decorated rooms, some with garden views, as well as comfortable beds and modern bathrooms.

convenient location

friendly staffcity centerconvenient locationm-tickets app
The hotel is a short walk to the city center. Buses are easily accessible too. i used the m-tickets app. It offered cheaper tickets i could buy in advance. the staff were very friendly. the tram from the airport was a 30-minute ride directly to the hotel.
The shower's water pressure lessened when other guests showered. That was a slight inconvenience.

The continental breakfast had a simple selection. It was still good enough for me. i booked extra and chose from six different hot breakfast options. This kept me full until evening. there's also a very cozy café one minute from the hotel.

The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, facing the street.
My room's window was broken and held together by tape. Black mould was also growing on the window (a rather unsightly view).
