the location was quite convenient, just a short walk from the train station. i liked that i could easily store my luggage in a locked room before check-in. the receptionist even lent me an adapter when i realized i didn't have the correct one for charging my phone. she was very helpful and cheerful.
the room felt quite small for the price. the air conditioning seemed to be set on 'winter mode', so the room was warm and stuffy. i had to open the window to cool it down, but the noise from the busy street and trams made it difficult to sleep.

the location proved quite convenient, situated a short distance from the train station, acceptable
the initial room reeked of cigarettes, a detail seemingly missed by the cleaning staff. a subsequent room offered poor air conditioning, a rather noisy unit struggling even during moderate temperatures. i will reconsider staying during future trips.

The location was very convenient to the station.
The front office service felt questionable. I was told I needed to check my wi-fi password every day as it supposedly changed daily. This seemed like a snide remark from the personnel. The hotel was not cheap. and there are better ones around.
