Dodo Hotel
Good value for money hotel. It was basic but rooms were clean. It is in a bit of a run down area with only 1 small shop nearby but the tram into the city centre stops right outside. Be warned there is no lift and there are 4 floors.

City Westa Hotel
Greatest advantage of this accomodations is that is located close to bus, train station and central market. Room was clean, comfy and personal was nice and helpful. Everything was OK and there is not much can be said about any negatives, maybe that some guests are little bit noisy.
