Modern, clean and nice rooms. A bit tricky to park the car, but no biggie. The night staff was a bit on the grumpier side though, could have been a bit more welcoming.

2-night trip

This hotel was practically located with easy access to trams in every direction. Beds were too soft and pillows like a rock. Breakfast way too expensive for what was offered.

Everything was generally very good, and the service was excellent! The one slightly negative point for me was the lack of choices of the restaurant menu.
