I stayed at this hotel hoping for a charming experience, but the rooms were not quite what I expected from the pictures online. They felt outdated and lacked soundproofing. On the plus side, the service was excellent, with friendly staff who went out of their way to help us. The location wasn't perfect since it was a bit far from the main attractions, but there was good tram access to the city center. Overall, while there were some letdowns, the staff made my stay more enjoyable.
