Great location.
Great place walking distance to the major sites and the tram. Good breakfast. A little noisy from outside noise but you are in the city. Very poor shower water pressure. For the price point and location I would definitely recommend this place.

About 50 minutes from the airport (~$40) by taxi. Location is very convenient, walking distance to main attractions. The hotel is very clean and conveniently located. Staff is friendly. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is awesome and you can go upstairs to have it in the patio overlooking the water. Would definitely recommend and come back if travels bring us back there.

Very disappointed, as this hotel was rated 8.8..
We booked double bed room for 6 nights. It was quite a small room. No table,chair or luggage desk for suitcases. We couldnt lock the door from inside, it was temporarily fixed in second day. We could hear all the noise coming from the street. Shower was broken, even asked 3 times but still not fixed . Shower drainage was bloked and not fixed at all..Breakfast was very poor, no butter, no fruit were available,even asked and they wouldnt provide it for anybody...
