The staff of the hotel is very helpfull and the breakfast was good with a lot of choice. The hotel is situated at a very good spot. The public transport facilities are excellent and free of charge thanks to the mobilityticket.
 
The room was not big although sufficient for my stay. I did need to stay for long periods in my room.

Both the hotel and the restaurant are very nice.

Great location, near tram and old city centre
 
I asked for a non smoking room but was given a smoking room, then i changed room but got one near the elevator which was very noisy. there is no air con in the hotel. there are no baths, only showers which there should be in a 4 star hotel. the hot breakfast and breakfast choice is limited.
