The property was in a great location in the city center, and for a few nights stay it is worth the price! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and I would defiantly stay here again in the future :)
Really central property, however not the most sociable place. Extremely hot at night and there was nobody there on the first day to get the €5 aircon remote from. Really clean.
Vi kom for en enkelt overnatning og forventede ikke det store. Desværre kunne vi ikke sove om natten, da der var et stort hul i madrassen samt var sengen knækket. Derudover var der ikke gjort rent. Nummeret man bliver bedt ringe på, hvis ikke der var åbent gik på telefonsvareren. Det andet nummer var ikke gyldigt. Dog har det en fantastisk beliggenhed!
Personnel mediocre. Nitre fenetre etait casse et ils nous ont pas fais de réduction ils ont même pas reglé le probleme. On nous a laissé dormir dans une chambre avec une fenêtre cassée avec une température de -2 la nuit.
Emplacement idéal, juste à côté de la cathédrale. Plein de bars et restaurants à proximité immédiate.

Disliked: Staff & service
Property was centrally located. Reception was largely unstaffed during our stay. Receptionist tried to charge double the tax on arrival and later argued that this was a misunderstanding when challenged. Towels provided would have been inadequate as hand towels. Shower was tiny and doors broken. Wallpaper in rooms was peeling off. All in all I would avoid if other options are available.
