The hotel is conveniently situated close to the tram network. Although there was a noisy fair going on at the Messe opposite, the room was quiet.
The beds are comfortable.
The shower is roomy and works well.
There are English-language channels available on the TV.
There is a good choice for breakfast.
The hot drinks machine is available throughout the day.
We were pleased to find a fridge in the room - and that it was not ax extra profit-making mini-bar
It was a disappointment to find no USB charging sockets in the room.
We chose half-board even though we had been unable to check ahead of time what meals were available. We learnt later that the hotel and restaurant are separate businesses. For our needs, it would have been better to have bed and breakfast only, even if we ate in the restaurant. That would have enabled us to choose from the main menu.
In the end, one of us chose from the main menu on one of our two evenings. The hotel reception thought it might be possible to get a reduction for the unused half-board but it was not.
The breakfast orange juice was very watery.
Hot drinks are available only until 21:00 and there are no tea or coffee-making facilities in the room so no hot drinks after 9pm.

The hotel is in a great location—not directly in the city center, but within easy walking distance and well connected by tram and bus routes. There are also plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, which made things very convenient.
We were traveling with our baby, and the staff couldn't have been more empathetic and accommodating. The crib provided was also very comfortable.
The room can feel a bit small if you're traveling with a lot of luggage.

Good location nice stuff.
Midnight wakeup by a service truck who start to mend a window next to mine (2nd floor) from the outside.
For this price I advise to book Hyperion;)
