The staff are great, the room is clean, and you'll find everything you need, even if it's not in the room, in the shared kitchen. They're very hospitable, and the check-in and check-out are easy. You'll see the hotel is old from the outside, even the door is old, but when you enter, you'll see everything is new and modern.

Downstair club plays loud music that goes until 4 am at least twice or three times a week. The music even reverbrates through the second floor room bed, and you will not be able to sleep. Everything else is excellent - quality of the room to the staff.

There was no one there! We tried to check in and no one answered and we had to wait around with all our luggage. Location ok, not that central. Was clean.

Würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen und weiterempfehlen. Es gibt definitiv nichts zu meckern - im Gegenteil, sehr positive Überraschung
