Nice helpful staff and good clean basic accommodation. It was a very quick stay between trains so we didn't get to spend any time in the communal areas.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place was really nice and beds were confortable, relatively quiet inside and the people there was nice and respectful. It was very convenient that the main train station is across the street. Although I like the concept of separating the shower and toilet in the room, but it was very small and tight and was hard to change in them.

Das Zimmer war einfach eingerichtet und für eine Person genügend groß. Das Bad war sehr klein, leider auch nicht ganz sauber. Das Frühstück war okay, das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft liegt nahe am Hauptbahnhof: gute ÖPV-Anbindung, aber laute und schmuddelige Umgebung.
