Adequate. Nothing fancy.
Pros:

The location is very convent to public transportation.
Large rooms.

Cons:

Don’t let them give you one of the basement rooms - musty and substandard.
I was able to switch rooms after my first night and had a very nice room on the first floor.
It was somewhat difficult to find a host or hostess if any questions or needs arose.
It would be nice if they would provide soap.

Triple room we stayed certainly needs updating and redecorating.

Dirty and unhygienic
Pros:

Good location. The host was cordial on arrival.

Cons:

DO NOT stay at this place - dirty and unhygienic. After checking into our room, we found food from the previous guest left in the fridge as well as food remnants on the floor. The room had clearly not been hoovered. The towels provided had stains/dirt marks - it was unclear whether these were clean or not. The shared bathroom was unhygienic - bins full up and the floor covered in hair. The facilities were not up to the standard we would expect for paying customers. I would not recommend this.

Kvaliteten tilsvarer ikke prisen
Pros:

Morgenmad var ikke muligt

Cons:

Info om værelse og bygningens beskaffenhed levede ikke op til beskrivelsen. Bygning og værelser er slidte og gammelt. Megen støj fra vej. Svært at åbne og lukke vinduer.

Pros:

L'accueil a été très sympathique, la chambre était très correcte avec salle de bain et toilettes (ça n'est pas le cas pour toutes les chambres). Emplacement à 25-30 minutes à pieds du vieux centre mais très bien desservi par les bus qui passent tôt le matin et terminent tard le soir
