tram stationsmoke smellhigh minibar prices
the location is pretty good since it is near the tram station.
The room i got smelled strongly of stale smoke, though it was supposed to be a nonsmoking room. It was annoying. the minibar prices were outrageous. I mean, 30 euro for a small glass of wine? the hotel charged a 100 euro deposit at check-in then refunded it back to my card, instead of cash as they told me.
