nice location, easy convenience store shopping and restaurants, no AC
Pros:

the breakfast was lovely
The room itself was fine, location was perfect, transportation excellent.
The day I checked out there were thunderstorms, but the tram stop was directly outside the hotel, so no problem!
Staff were helpful, and having an elevator was great.

Cons:

but with no AC and being right on a very busy street, I didn't get much rest. It was 90 and just a fan. So I was taking a cool shower all night, and sweating alot, and the street was very noisy outside my window

Lokatie goed voor doorreis, accommodatie onvoldoende
Pros:

De locatie voor doorreis, makkelijk te bereiken en parkeren achter hotel.

Cons:

Erg kleine kamer, niet om uit te houden wat betreft de warmte, geen airco, alleen een goedkope kleine ventilator, ruim onvoldoende.
Veel geld (€200) voor dit verblijf.

Høy pris, dårlig beliggenhet og ingen ventilasjon.
Cons:

Ingen ventilasjon på rommet, tross 38 grader/hetebølge. Ektrem støy fra vei utenfor, så ikke mulig å ha åpent. En liten bordvifte hjelper svært lite i slike forhold. Vi vurderte å reise midt på natten grunnet svært lite søvn under disse forholdene.

Great stay, central and practical. Clean, thank you!
Pros:

Location, simplicity of check in and check out. Very helpful staff. Room well equipped, good rate. Tram right pitside entry of hotel, that is amazing!

Cons:

Half of the mattress (outer) was very bad quality - my husband‘s side was nice and firm, as I discovered in the morning. That shouldn‘t be. Likely is because the saggy side is used as ‚the sofa‘.

Okunnig och osäker personal i receptionen.

Wspaniały
Pros:

Łatwo trafić. Miły, przyjazny i serdeczny personel. Szybkie odpowiada na pytania przed przyjazdem. Można znaleźć pomocne rozwiązanie z kluczami, łatwo wejść po zamknięciu drzwi głównych. Wszystko ok! Wygodny. Przyjemny cichy pokój od strony parkingu i dziedzińca. Wiatraczek pomógł trochę w upale. Winda. Dużo miejsc na parkingu. Duże śniadanie, jednak mały wybór dietetycznych, świeżych produktów i owoców. Jajko najlepiej ugotować sobie świeże w specjalnym, podanym urządzeniu. ;) Pyszna kawa.

Cons:

Przydałoby się więcej dietetycznych produktów ze świetnymi owocami, serków typu Cottage i jogurtów bezsmakowych itp. Poza tym cały pobyt bardzo udany - bardzo ok.
