Wenn man nur übernachten will alles ausreichend. Einen längeren Aufenthalt würde ich nicht bichen.
Pros:

Der Preis ist unschlagbar.
Das Bett war bequem. Das Kopfkissen wollte sich leider gar nicht anpassen.

Cons:

Es war ziemlich eng. Sehr warm. Keine Klimaanlage und Fenster öffnen war aufgrund des Bahnhofes und er allgemeinen Lautstärke auch schlecht.

Hyvä paikka hyvällä paikalla.
Pros:

Hyvä puomilla varustettu yksityinen parkkipaikka. Kohtelias henkilökunta. Aamiainen hyvää peruslaatua.

Cons:

Aamiaisella oli joku epäkuntoinen huonekortin skanneri, mutta kokeilun jälkeen emme sitä jääneet ihmettelemään. Ruokaa oli saatavilla ja henkilökuntaa ei aamiaistilassa näkynyt joten aloitettiin vaan syömään. Ei ole siis mikään iso asia, oikeammin hauska muisto.

Don't go if the weather is hot
Pros:

The room was nice and clean

Cons:

The hotel doesn't has airconditioning and the days that was stayed in this hotel, the temperature were 38 till 40 degrees.

It was so so hot in the room that we couldn't sleep. Next morning we checked out.

Een also didn't like the bed. There was a space in between and everytime I fell in the space.

Besides this, it's a nice place.
