Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being a bit noisy due to the nearby tram, were super comfy, clean, and well-equipped. The service was excellent as they kindly accommodated my luggage after checkout. The location was convenient, but I would have preferred better services for the price paid. Unfortunately, the dining experience in the stuffy basement fell short of expectations.
