Great place to stay

The place is quiet and clean. I love the extras at the dining room and bathroom condiments. Close to trams, shops. The kitchen could be improvised with dishcloth or scourer, better cooking equipment and decent knife. The location is ideal for public transportation and shops.

Location was great, the room and hotel were not as good. The king bed is two single beds pushed together that come apart during the night. So many cameras and signs for hotel rules, you feel very watched but not for safety or security, more so that you could be fined.
