The room was dirty and there was no air con so we were roasting. We had noisy neighbours and we complained to reception but they never got back to us. Would not stay there again purely for how dirty the room was.

Great stay. Location was great. It was an easy walk to several tram stops and an easy walk to restaurants. The bed was comfy (kind of narrow twin). Morning breakfast was nice. I would definitely stay there again.

Room was in the basement with no elevator so I had to haul my luggage up and down stairs. Shower door didn’t close all the way. Room was too dark. Even with all the lights on.

Nice hotel in a great location. 10/15 min walk in to the main areas or only 2 mins to a tram stop on which you can get all the way back to Central Station. The rooms were clean and had a comfortable bed and good shower. Only downside was the lack of a bar in the hotel. They are attached to a restaurant however it is definitely more of a restaurant than a bar and we felt in the way while just having a drink - maybe it was just a busy time/evening? You can buy drinks and snacks in the reception but they’re very expensive.

I like the fact that the hotel is very accessible to tram. Just across the street. But the shower room smells musty. Carpet is old and dirty.

While the room was tiny, the property was a great home base to explore the city. We were able to easily walk or tram to most anywhere we wanted to go. The room was clean, staff was friendly, and we had a nice stay. The shower is very small which meant the bathroom got wet while bathing, but that was a small inconvenience for a great, affordable hotel.
