The hotel was nice and the breakfast very good. The cleanliness could be improved. Overall it was good, however the top bunk in the room had an accumulation of dust and hair in the cracks. There were also hairs on the towels. The hotel location was great, right off a busy tram line for easy commuting.

This is a clean facility, breakfast buffet is ok. However, it is clearly a budget option with limited amenities: only soap but no lotion in room, only one outlet (have to alternate charging of electronics), no coffee/tea in room, no safe.
