    A bit non-standard access procedure, based on full self-service may create hazards, when some elements are not descrobed. Lime: the post box was open and not to be opened. After 22:00, you open the door with the key and not with button etc. Plus limited horizontal surfaces for luggage and details…

    The location of the hotel is excellent, in the center of everything and right on a tram line. My room was small but cozy and very clean, with quirky decor and unusual / fun touches like adjustable mood lighting, free movies, and such dark blinds that I felt like it was 3am all night (might be dangerous if you forget to set your alarm). Breakfast was somewhat basic (probably due to COVID) but good with a nice variety of cold items, and the bar in the evening had good draft beers and a welcoming environment. The front desk staff, breakfast staff, and bar staff were always friendy and helpful. Hand sanitizer was widely available and staff wore masks, with plexiglass barriers installed at each interaction point. Nothing to complain about here....…
