Angenehm bis auf das mit den trinken.
Pros:

Die Lage, da man sehr zentral war und überall gut hingekommen ist.

Das man nur trinken und essen in Gemeinschaftsraum darf und nicht im Zimmer.

Citynah und unkompliziert wohnen
Pros:

Ruhiges Haus, wirkte eher wie ein Drei-Sterne-Hotel, unten mit Aufenthalts, netter Empfang, Doppelzimmer sehr großzügig, Parkplätze vor der Tür, Stadt in wenigen Minuten erreichbar

Cons:

Frühstück sehr eng portioniert und alles in Plastik, Heißgetränke nur gegen Geld aus Automaten, Leitungswasser oder Säfte wären toll, lieber 2 Euro mehr und etwas mehr Essen oder Wahl zwischen kleinem und großem Frühstück

Pros:

The room is very clean (10/10) and friendly staff.
The location, It is just a 5-minute walk from the bahnhof and -+15 minutes walking to the central city. You also get a free bus ticket and tourist info paper after check-in.

Cons:

- You cannot just walk in; you have to ring the bell and wait for the receptionist to open the door.

- Even though you are charged €4.50 for the linen, you still have to make your own bed.

- The online total was €128.50 (€121 room + €2 for two towels + €4.50 linen), leaving a mysterious €1 difference I couldn't trace. On top of that, the tourist tax (€3.50/night) must be paid separately in cash.
