I was attending a business conference. Hotel is very comfortable, modern, clean. Staff is very friendly, helpful and cheerful. Definitely take the breakfast. I am gluten and dairy free and I think it was one of the best breakfast I have had a non 5 star hotel! Very well located for shops, restaurants and the tram. I will most definitely stay again.
