8/10 Very good

Excellent location with fun décor and a very clean space. Convenient access to shopping, transit, and restaurants. The room was well stocked with quality linens, two pillows per person, and good towels. The only downside was the lack of a kettle and fridge. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay.

Nice stay!

Spacious room. Comfortable beds and easy check in. Rooms were ready (3) when we arrived in the morning. We did not purchase the breakfast package. Centrally located so easy to get around. As in most European hotels, there is no refrigerator or a.c. but room was comfortable in September with window open.
Janet, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Short walk to numerous restaurant options, transportation to train station steps away, Coop around the corner. Helpful front desk and bar open 24 hours (never used but it was there if needed). Passed on the breakfast due to price. Room was spacious.

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this hotel having stayed in another location previously and the service and standards remain high. Very clean and comfortable room, with a nice sized bathroom and shower. Great central location close to the main train station and trams/buses to other areas. Walkable to the river too, and with great food and drink locations around. Highly recommend.
