Guests generally find the rooms sufficiently spacious and comfortable for their modest price, and many enjoy a restful night in the cosy beds. The complimentary candy and bottled water in the rooms are much appreciated, welcoming touches, too. Some rooms on higher floors offer a fine view of the city, which is often described as "beautiful."
The front desk staff have earned many rave reviews for their polite, helpful service. Guests also find that the complimentary continental breakfast sets them up well for a day of sight-seeing, with a good variety of breads, croissants, cereals, pastries, cheeses, cold meats, and fruit, as well as fresh orange juice.
Guests generally like the hotel's quiet location, noting that the city centre is within a 15-minute walk, but there is also a tram station with a direct line into the city, and that trip takes about five minutes. Air travellers love that the hotel is a direct bus line form the airport.
Though guests appreciate the secure parking on site, drivers warn that the laneways and spaces are tight, with large concrete pillars that make navigation difficult.
Recent travellers note that the furnishings and carpet have begun to show some wear, and the rooms are under-furnished, small, or "basic" to some eyes as well.
The property offers just one, smallish lift, and it is painfully slow. Healthy travellers are well advised to take the stairs.
