The hotel is about 2km South of the city, but easily reachable by the very frequent trams. Room was clean and in great condition. Quiet with very comfortable beds. Our room also had a well equipped small kitchen with everything you need, including a dishwasher. Front desk staff were friendly. Restaurant on the property offered excellent Italian food. We would definitely stay there again.

2-night trip

10/10

The room I had at The Kinson was well-equipped hotel room with fridge, microwave, diswasher etc. The location out of the CBD is excellent and trams stop outside the door regularly so access to everything is easy. I had to change my reservation due to flight cancellations - the staff were very helpful. The Italian restaurant on the ground level was very popular and there are several cafes serving good coffee within easy walking distance.
