My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is fantastic, being so close to the city center! The rooms were decent with a nice view, but I found them a bit small for my liking. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, but I did experience some hiccups with services. Dining options were limited and could definitely use improvement. Overall, it was a comfortable stay but not without its quirks.

The hotel has a great location, just 15-20 minutes from the city center and right by the metro and trams. The rooms, however, felt a bit old and humid, and we had to ask for a remote for the air conditioning. The staff was generally friendly, although there were moments when they seemed a bit moody. Overall, while the value for the price was decent, the noise from the tram station was a bit of a downside.
