Solo stay

The staff were friendlier and more helpful than the norm. While the rooms aren't large objectively, they make the most of their space. And it doesn't require a PhD to work out the lighting, A/C etc.

This hotel was in walking distance to the city center. However the air conditioning was lacking during the heatwave that was upon us. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Taxi services are very expensive but that is not the fault of this property. Tram instruction is needed or tram map to make it more convenient.

Some reviews say it is a 10mins walk from the train station. There are 2 train stations and the international one, we came in from Strasbourg, is a 36mins walk! Our mistake but worth noting. The bus back ( which is free) stops outside the hotel. A functional busy hotel with friendly efficient staff ideal for a 1 night stopover

Room was clean and tidy. Reception staff were helpful. Location was easy to take a public transport into the cultural centre or to the main Train Station. Breakfast had almost everything you could want, so many options.
