Conrad

This is a nice hotel for the price. Spacious and modern rooms with comfortable bed. Hotel also has convenient amenities like laundry machines. The only slight downside is the street it's on is quite busy and noisy, without much in the way of places to eat etc., but this isn't a big issue if you have a car.
