Excellent Stay, HIGHLY Recommended!

central locationcomfy bedstemperature controlsecure lockers

The location is very short walk into the city center, just minutes away. The beds were very comfy and cosy. The room temperature control was lovely. I could open a window to cool down. Lockers with codes for luggage worked very well after I checked out. There were no issues.

The shower door didn't shut properly. Water from the tap had a strong sulphur scent. The cold water tap delivered hot water for some time.

An Adequate Stay

modern interiorclean roomconvenient cafestreet noisesmall roomunadjustable heat

The hotel's interior looked recently renovated. The rooms were modern and clean. A café located next door proved very convenient. I found the self check-in process was easy to manage.

The street outside was noisy late into the night. Since the room was so hot, I had to open a window. The heating pipes running through the small room could not be adjusted. I found it hard to sleep well.
