Good location. Ideal for just somewhere for one night. Definitely not for a couple or family
Pros:

Shouldn't really be known as a hotel. More so just accommodation. Location is good but the place itself is a bit rough. The staff are very nice and friendly. They need to invest in a revamp

Pros:

Close to the city

Cons:

Bed was uncomfortable, room was very small. Wouldn't swing a cat in it. Smelt like dust. Was not worth 370e for the night. Absolute shambles and no breakfast

Pros:

Die Lage war super, das Personal sehr nett und es war sauber.

Cons:

Das Zimmer lag unterm Dach und war bei 30°C ohne Klimaanlage und Ventilator leider sehr heiß. Aber schlimmer fand ich das Fenster zum Innenhof, wo ein Pub war. Bis um 1:30 Uhr dröhnte die Musik und weil so heiß war, konnte man noch nicht einmal das Fenster schließen.
