Only stayed for one night. Leaving the luggage before & after Check-out was standard service. Public transport per bus or train is just walking distance. Supermarkets & a lot of resraurants nearby. Unfortunately, our room had no AC and it was unusually hot for end of May.

We were so lucky to have met the most lovely concierge who made our check in process the best. He was so accommodating and helpful. The room was very clean and cute. Great location to walk to the train station so you can get anywhere. Also a cute downtown nearby with lots of great food options for a quick snack. Would stay here again, definitely recommend!

Das "vorhandene Spa" bestand aus einer Sauna für 20 Euro pro Person, zusätzlich sollte man 30 min vorher bescheid geben. Das ist kein Spa

I forhold til prisen var det godt, men der burde som minimum have været et lille køleskab med nogle snacks, og værelset var forholdsvis koldt :)

“Opholdet på hotellet var overordnet fint. Morgenmaden var udmærket, og saunaen var et godt plus. Badeværelset var dog en smule beskidt, men ellers var alt i orden. Hotellet ligger tæt på U-Bahn og i dejlige omgivelser, hvilket gjorde opholdet behageligt

Hotellet var som sådan rent, men der lugtede simpelthen så gammel på gangene hvis alle vinduer ikke var åbne. Der ud over blev man vækket hver gang nogle brugte enten vasken eller skyllede da det gav en høj larm.
