Business stay, always a good choice. The only downside is that it is quite noisy from the trams outside.

The staff was amazing and went out of their way to set up up to go the Alps when our tour was cancelled. It was a beautiful hotel across the street from the train station and walkable to many restaurants and shopping.

Beautiful hotel! Literally across from the train station, so convenient for people traveling by train. The area around the hotel isn’t the most beautiful, but it felt safe, and overall much nicer than train stations in many other large cities. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is superbly located. Its across the street from the station and a short walk to the old town. Staff were friendly and efficient. Check in was quick. Room was comfortable, clean and adequately sized. The breakfast buffet was good but food ran out - perhaps because it was a busy day. It was a comfortable stay but there is nothing remarkable about the hotel. I would say that it is a little overpriced.
