This hotel is part of a 3 hotel complex. City Inn being the cheapest. It clearly depends what you're after. Cheap accommodation? This is your place especially when discounted on Expedia which beats booking directly at the hotel. We booked on Expedia 2 minutes before turning up at reception and everything was already in their system so no complaints there. Just be mindful that you really do get what you pay for. Rooms are tiny including the bathroom which may be an issue if you're a bit oversized. The rooms was very clean and functional. Coffee facilities available in the hallway. Aircon exists but unfortunately the remote had flat batteries so we could only switch it on but not off. Check everything upon check-in to avoid nasty surprises. Our room was facing a side street where Uber/Cab/food delivery trucks would park to wait for their next customers. Noise was unbearable almost all night. Aircon was loud too but at least there was one. Window can be opened but it was too noisy outside to do so. Check-in was painless just around the corner right next to Starbucks. Don't get confused. It's one reception for 3 hotels. The location is right across from the train station which makes it very convenient if this is your mode of transport. Bus/Tram are free during your stay thanks to the included Guest Pass you receive at check-in. Overall your rate of satisfaction will depend on the location of your room. Pay a bit extra to go higher up. Lift is available.

This was a slightly strange maze of three inter-connected hotels but having had trouble locating which of the three reception points was working, I got checked in to a very nice room. Very convenient for rail station and old town. Excellent on site restaurant

Basic without the basics
Room was pleasantly large vs some colleagues who said they had a tiny room with a skylight. However, screeching noise all night that the check in person nonchalantly said in the morning was the AC - and shrugged his shoulders. Awful breakfast which I refused to eat. Lovely bathroom / shower but shower gel bottle was empty - basics!?
