Cleanliness
1
Rooms described as clean in multiple reviews, but issues noted with shower design (no shower door causing splash) and no refill of toiletries which slightly reduces perceived cleanliness/usability.
Service
1
Staff are described as very friendly and helpful, but there are repeated operational/service issues: no staff at weekends/holidays, a Sunday lockout with long wait for help, and limited front-desk coverage — these practical failures substantially hurt service sentiment.
Location

Consistently praised for proximity to parks, nature walks, hiking spots and relative closeness to the centre; calm, green surroundings are a major positive. Some traffic noise reported for certain rooms.

Greatly recommended for those who seek to escape bustle of the city and generally have deep sleep
Pros:

Amazing ambience. The fire station is just beautiful at night with the red buildings, the lanterns and the chirping of the cicadas. Clean room. Very friendly staff. Close proximity to great hiking spots like the national park and the former train corridor.

Cons:

Even though my room was not facing the neighboring highway directly, I could hear cars day and night. Not for light sleepers. Don't get locked out of your room on a Sunday because there is no one on the front desk or hotline! Takes ca. 45 minutes to get to the city center by public transport.

Next to nature, not far from the centre, very comfy and felt like home.
Pros:

The guys were very friendly and helpful, the place is brand new and very convenient for a short or long stay. The apartment had everything we needed, sound proofing is good. The air is clean in that area and you can go hiking every day. Transport is perfect. Washing machine had an inbuilt dryer and we loved it.

Cons:

I couldn’t find the info on how to dispose rubbish (please add that) - the workers showed us the place and it was ok.
