4The only 2 problems with this otherwise beaut hotel were- (1)the wretched trams that run past the western and northern sides of the hotel from about 5 am to 11 +pm- sleeping is possible and O.K. IF you wear ear-plugs
(2) our room, facing west, was always just a bit too hot- we were there early Nov- we could not cool it down as we were informed that the hotel had turned the cooling system off, and only the heating system was available.
However, for those travelling by train, it is an easy walk with bags from the main station, and this was hard to appreciate from your map.
breakfasts were beaut.
Increasing problem may soon be the huge development basically across the road, of the new Trade Centre, which is to be ready for the 2015 World Expo- it is about 1 km square!! I guess there will be plenty of trucks and noise etc associated with this.
