Pros:

Convenient location for gig at the Palais and for transport from city (very close to tram stop)
It is combined with a pub that was open when I returned from the gig, so was good for continuing the evening (I note that I couldn’t hear anything when I went to bed)

Cons:

The breakfast was nice but was basic - I was happy with it but not for you if you’re looking for the full buffet experience (the overall price of the room + breakfast was great value)
