calm room excellent staff perfect location small room flat pillows awkward bed
The room was calm and clean (very important for me). The breakfast was great with excellent staff. The location is perfect. It is next to the messe and several tram stops.
The room was too small and poorly designed. The bed was too close to the wall, made night trips almost impossible. The pillows were too flat.

Acceptable stay, but some issues

unclear instruction lack mini-bar
The hotel location worked well for my travel needs.
I experienced issues with the elevator system, I did not like how it works. Reaching the ground floor requires entering '0', this wasn't clear. my room lacked a mini-bar, which I thought was a standard.
