tasty breakfast easy transportation

The breakfast included many choices and was really tasty! i also loved that the bus and tram stop was just in front of the building. It made getting around so simple. the location is a real plus!

There was no water served in the room except for the first day. i had to ask for toothbrushes every time. I wish they were just provided automatically.

The hotel is ideally located near the tram lines, so transportation is very convenient. It sits at the intersection of the T6 line to the center and the T7 line along the coast. The beach is also very close.
