The hotel is close to the tram station. The receptionist during the night shift was friendly and helpful. I found the room spacious and clean with new furniture. I really appreciated the wellness and spa facilities. I used them every day.
The pool was sometimes unavailable, and the staff mentioned it was defective. The warm water was not always working.
