Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the free luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or after check-out to explore the city unencumbered.

  • 02

    Book a room on the top floor and away from the street if you are a light sleeper, as noise from adjacent rooms and traffic is common.

  • 03

    Inspect the bed and mattress for signs of pests upon arrival, as incidents have been reported in some rooms.

  • 04

    Use the nearby tram stop for direct airport transfers instead of relying on the paid shuttle or driving.

  • 05

    Confirm breakfast start time and availability if you have early morning tours, as the buffet can be cleared quickly when groups are present.
