Very Good

I really enjoyed the breakfast and the breakfast staff.
One of the maids kept taking the toilet paper from my room.
I thought that was rude and strange.
My travel guide had a difficult time speaking to me when he would contact the hotel.
Someone told him that they could not connect him to my room telephone.
This became a problem for me until I was able to fix the problem with one of the front desk employees.
The location is excellent; however, the tram line is extremely noisy into the late-night hours.
The noise also starts early in the morning, and it interrupted my sleep.
Very nice hotel, enjoyed my stay, convenient location, breakfast is standard and good, the stuff were very friendly and helpful. Did not have any issue in the room. Cleaning was daily too
