recomendable solo para 1 dia, baño y cama

Desde el principio tuve problemas porque me decían que yo no había pagado, aunque había pagado por medio de Hotels.com Luego no te dan toallas, debes pagarlas aparte. Ten en cuenta si vas en verano, que no hay ventilador ni aire en las habitaciones. No recomendable para estancias de mas de 1 día. Supongo que en comparación con otros hoteles de la ciudad es barato, pero por casi 90 euros la noche, no me parecio muy bueno el servicio.

Ich fand das Personal mega freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer bietete alles was man für einen kurzen Trip brauchte. Leider rutschten die Matratzen immer wieder von einander was dafür sorgte das man ein zwei male auch auf dem Lattenrost schlief aber dies war kein Problem

A well located and friendly hotel

The people at the desk are super friendly! The breakfast buffet is generous. There is currently some building work in front which makes some noise after 8 am. A perfect place for backpack travelers and a public transportation pass will be delivered for all your stay.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Staff & service
Laut Beschreibung inkl. Bad und WC im Zimmer. Dies war leider falsch da nur Gemeinschafts Duschen und WCs vorhanden waren. Dafür war dann das Preis Leistungsverhältnis nicht gut. Die Wände sind sehr dünn, Telefongespräche des Nachbarn oder Spülgeräusche aus dem daneben liegenden WCs deutlich zu hören.
