Fantastic Stay! I'd definitely come back again!
great value rear parking clothes dryer
This hotel offers great value for money! The car parking at the rear was convenient. The washing machine and clothes dryer worked fantastically, so helpful after long days. It was a great place for my trip!
My room was located opposite the communal kitchen, so the door closing made some noise.

a decent stay, some areas need improvement
clear instructions easy access small space high mirror
i found the location to be very convenient. it was a short walk to the supermarket and the city center. the instructions for entering the building and my room were clear. also, they were easy to follow. it was a good price for a single night stay.
The room felt a bit depressing to me. the wardrobe and armchair took up a lot of space. this. i had to move a heavy chair to reach the window. It was not ideal. the mirror in the bathroom was also too high.

The shower was powerful and spacious, which I appreciated.
The blinds in my room did not block out any light. I had to stand on a hand towel while showering because it was not clean. It was NOT a pleasant experience.
