Solid Stay Near Public Transport

The breakfast provided a good variety of options. I found water and sparkling water readily available on each floor, convenient. Staff members were helpful and friendly . The location is near a tram station, providing easy access to other areas.

The room seemed a bit dated and could benefit from some updates. I noticed a dampness in the room that I found difficult to eliminate. This resulted in the sheets feeling slightly damp, affecting overall comfort.

The location is great, very close to the city center. I walked to the beachfront. It only took about thirty minutes. The staff was very professional and friendly. The hotel also has a tram line very close.

The gym had limited opening hours. It closed a bit earlier than I would have liked.
