    The location was great, very central but still quiet. My room was on the 5th floor and it was a lot bigger than I expected. It was comfortable and they cleaned/changed the towels daily. The breakfast was nice, they welcomed me with a hot drink...

    The location is great, walking distance to major tourist attractions. The tram station is close to the hotel. There are lots of restaurants in the area, a good atmosphere in a full of life city!
