tram noise body towels
the tram noise was something else , a constant rumble that was like the building was about to shake apart. sleep? only if you're comatose or possibly a heavy sleeper. and don't even get me started on the towels , or rather , the lack of them. face towels only , apparently body towels were a luxury they forgot to include.

Excellent Central Location

great selection clean room pleasant staff superb location
The breakfast had a super great selection, including something for everyone. The location was superb. It is well named as it is perfectly placed, a base, to explore the city from. The room was spotlessly clean and the staff were very pleasant.
The wifi signal was a bit weak. It made it slightly difficult to stream videos. I hope they improve it soon.
