Great location and nice modern hotel. Only possible drawback is that it is right next to a main tram/bus terminus and they sure do make a noise.

The staff were gracious enough to upgrade me to a room with a balcony - which made the stay all so memorable. The location is perfect - 5min walk from the train station, near Old Town and the main city centre. The room may be a little small but suited me as a solo traveller.
