Great stay at this hotel. Room has everything you need except for maybe a fridge. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Best of all is perhaps the location which is close to the city's main highlights.

Loved our stay here. Very convenient to everything- tram from the airport stopped right outside the door! Staff were great. Breakfast was good, with a great choice of food. The only issue we found was the floor creaked every time we walked on it. Can’t wait to go back.
