This hotel was in a great location that allowed me to get around the city quickly by foot or on the #96 tram. It is in the free zone, so if your stay is within that area, there is no extra costs for transport around. The staff were all very friendly. It was also convenient for walking home after a show at the Princess Theatre.

We felt fortunate to get an upgrade, however we were on the 5th floor and the street noise was loud, and sometimes frightening with horns and alarms going off We asked for 2 separate beds but got 1 big bed. The bed was comfortable. The shower leaked water all over the floor which was hard to clean up without more towels
