The hotel's location right opposite the coach station where all the tours depart from is super convenient, but the rooms are a bit cramped. The very friendly staff made us some space, and although the tables are closely packed in the crowded dining area, we found a good variety of delicious items for breakfast.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although small, was clean and modern with a cleverly organized tiny bathroom. The noise from trams in the morning was a downside, but the overall experience was excellent. The location near the train station was convenient, but the distance to certain areas like the lake and Opera house was a bit far. The dining options were varied and satisfying, but there was a slight inconvenience in finding the hotel initially.
