    Big and clean room. The amount of towels was changed after we asked once for it - I had worse experiences in more expensive places. Would stay there again.

    The hotel is located in a convenient place and it is easily accessible by Blue Line. It takes only 3-4 minutes to get from the station to the hotel. The cafe next to the hotel is very good for breakfast as the hotel does not have a breakfast...
