The hotel had easy access to transport. The tram was nearby, giving me quick access to the city. A market was also very close and offered many food options.
The breakfast came in a bag and the choices were limited.

The staff was friendly. I appreciated their help with directions to local attractions. breakfast offered a solid start to the day with fresh pastries. i used the outdoor garden one morning. It was very relaxing. the hotel also had a street market, which i visited and bought some souvenirs
the room was quite small. this made maneuvering with luggage challenging. i would have appreciated more space to unpack comfortably.
