Wir haben kostengünstig drei Nächte sehr zentral geschlafen, was super war. Wenn das Zimmer nicht so gemüffelt hätte und
Pros:

Die Unterkunft hatte ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Sie ist direkt am Bahnhof gelegen gut für alle diejenigen, die günstig zentral und in Bahnhofsnähe übernachten möchten.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein paar Schuhe, wahrscheinlich unserer „Vormieter“ unter dem Bett, wo eindeutig keiner sauber gemacht hat. Das Zimmer hat leider sehr gemüffelt, man konnte aber nicht gut lüften, weil man direkt neben den Gleisen war und die ganze Nacht wirklich massiver Lärm herrscht. Mit geschlossenem Fenster bekommt man davon allerdings nichts mit-was super ist!
