I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fairly convenient for my needs, being right by a tram stop, which made getting around easier. The room itself was spacious and well-equipped, although it was different from what I had booked online. However, the service left much to be desired, with some staff being unkind and no extra effort made to help. Overall, it’s a decent stay, but not without its flaws.

The hotel had a great location, making it easy to explore the university area and historic downtown attractions. While the rooms were tidy, they suffered from significant traffic noise, making it hard to relax. The service was really helpful, especially with our travel needs, but the dining options left much to be desired. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay if you're looking for convenience, but it could use improvements in several areas.

I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms were clean and spacious, which was great. The location was pretty convenient with easy access to public transport. However, the noise from passing trams and traffic at night made it hard to sleep, and the dining options could definitely use improvement. Overall, it was decent, but not without its flaws.

The hotel is located in a perfect spot in Josefstadt, with easy access to trams right outside and a short walk to City Hall. My room was really nice, clean, and spacious, which made for a comfortable stay. However, the service wasn't as friendly as I had hoped, and the breakfast, while adequate, lacked variety. Overall, it offers great value for money, especially given the excellent location.

However, the rooms were quite noisy due to the traffic, making it difficult to rest, and the dining options were a bit repetitive. Overall, it’s a decent choice but with some notable drawbacks.
