Liked: Cleanliness
This would be a great hotel for a solo traveler but the room was cramped for a couple. The open shower and bathroom sink make it impossible to have a person showering while the other person is sleeping. I didn't like that there is no refrigerator in the room. The fire alarm went off after midnight and we had to evaluate the building. Communication about what was going on was non-existent. At some point, we were able to climb 11 floors to get back to our room. No apologies at checkout. I would not stay here again.

Great place
The hotel has a great view from the tenth floor and has all the features you'd expect from a quality establishment. You've got to know the person you're staying with very well because the shower is in the bedroom and floor to ceiling windows but it's a funky design that we liked. I wouldn't recommend the place if you have young children as the windows do open. The location is maybe a little quirky being in an industrial area, we were happy though, jumping on the train for 5 minutes and walking the last 15 minutes to get from the city centre.

A little out of the way, but tram is convenient
Great hotel. On our way from the train station, it felt like the hotel was a little bit out of the way, away from the center of things. However, the tram is VERY convenient. The staff was very nice and shared information about tram, where to visit, etc.

Nice hotel, but noisy!
Pleasant staff, clean room and nice hotel. However, the noise from other guests late at night was awful. People running around and shouting at all hours. It was still going on at 4:30am. I will put it down to just being unlucky with who was in the hotel at the time, but it would make me think twice about staying again.

Reasonable,but not great....
Beware that many hotels have no AC--including this one. Tough on 87 degree days.Also---'variable pricing' meant my room was 200$ cheaper the day after I booked. Staff worked hard to accommodate all given a full house for a concert.
