Great place to stay for a city break
Pros:

Compared to many hotels slightly nearer the centre this was very good value and still only 10 minutes walk from the central pedestrianised zone. The train from the airport brings you to a stop about 7 minutes walk from the hotel. The rooms are spacious with good facilities including a fridge, safe and multi channel TV.

Cons:

Very minor point was that the hotel borders a road with a tram line and these started rumbling past around 6am otherwise the room was quiet and the aircon worked well so you could keep the windows closed. On the Sunday we went down to breakfast about 9.25am but most things had been eaten so the food was rather limited compared to the Saturday when we had breakfast at about 8.45am.

non soggiornerò più presso questo hotel
Cons:

mi hanno assegnato una camera all'ottavo piano mansardata con un soffitto non a norma dove ho preso una botta alla testa contro lo spigolo basso del muro
ho dovuto recarmi al pronto soccorso per questa botta e ho perso del tempo

La signora alla reception è stata molto scortese , le ho riferito di essermi fatta male e non mi ha cambiato neppure la camera
l'ultimo giorno invece c'era alla reception un ragazzo gentile che mi ha fatto il cambio stanza
