Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a Deluxe room for an ensuite bathroom; other room types may have a private bathroom outside the room.

  • 02

    Use the bus or tram for city-centre trips; the nearest bus stop is a minute away and the tram is a 10-minute walk.

  • 03

    Plan to arrive during daylight; self-check-in and finding the key box can be difficult in the dark on an unlit street.

  • 04

    Request a room away from the street if noise affects your sleep, as road-facing rooms experience traffic and cobblestone noise.
