"This is a well priced hotel (particularly compared to city centre hotels) conveniently placed on the edge of the city. There are no thrills, not even a kettle in the room. But it is right next to the tram on a direct 15 minute line into the city centre. The trams run frequently, even later at night. A weird interaction checking in. We arrived before checking in time, but asked anyway if we could check in. Without even checking if our rooms were ready we were told no. We pointed we had two rooms booked just as a second request, so the person on reception checked her computer and then decided we could check in as the rooms were ready. Strange. Beds were very comfortable, air conditioning and opening windows. The hotel was fine for what we wanted."
