    Hotel is really close to the tram line and you can reach city centre in around 20 minutes. The same line also goes to the airport. There is shopping centre nearby too. Rooms were small, but im used to that since this is a budget hotel. There was coffee and tea available for free which was very nice 😊 Hairdryer is available at the reception. We got breakfast on our last day and the selection was good! Despite small dislikes, i would still return here in the future.
