safe box convenient tram nice beverage
This stay worked good. The tram stop was conveniently 200 steps from the hotel. This was a plus. My room had a fridge and a safe box, I use it well. The bar had nice beverages and I enjoyed that place.
The single bed room was a bit narrow for me.

Really good stay near the zoo

easy check-in great location
The hotel is stylish, and the check-in process was easy. I arrived early, hoping to store my bags, and they checked me in since the room was ready. The location is great, right next to the zoo. I did not hear any animal noises.
The hotel room was small. The cleanness was not the best. The bedhead was ripped, and the carpets seemed dusty.
