The location was excellent and it was clean and the staff was lovely. There was also a lovely view of old town from our window.

The location was excellent; close to Old Town and New Town, train station and other attractions
The hotel is located on a busy street so the noise from the street is high plus there is construction next store that starts early in the morning. Access to the lobby is via stairs so hard for those to get luggage up.

The location of the hotel to all the shopping, sites and restaurants
The room was smaller than what was shown in the photo and since I had booked months in advance I thought I would be given the one a little nicer.
