Nice Hotel Good Value
Nice and clean comfortable hotel. Good value for the price in my opinion. Not in the city centre - but only a few mins on nearby tram or metro. Neighbourhood is vibrant and not the prettiest but totally safe. Only downside from my point of view is you have to pay extra for gym facilities. I was under the impression this was included in booking price. Friendly staff. Good breakfast and well kept place.
