Excellent location and service
convenient location short tram ride fresh breakfast quick service
My business conference at the congress center went great. The hotel's location near shopping and dining was really convenient. I took a short tram ride, it was only six minutes to the conference center. The breakfast offered many options, and everything tasted fresh. I borrowed electrical converters and an ironing board, and they arrived very quickly.
The elevator made a slight noise at night, but it did not bother me much.

rooftop lounge walkable neighborhood narrow beds bathtub request
I appreciated the rooftop lounge area. it was super clean. i also enjoyed the walkable neighborhood. It made getting around simple.
The twin beds were quite narrow for my liking. i also did not receive a bathtub despite my initial request for one. That was a bummer.
