Freundlicher Empfang, schönes sauberes Zimmer, war absolut zufrieden
Pros:

Das Zimmer war zwar im obersten (4.) Stock ohne Aufzug, aber es war sauber und komfortabel. Im Bad wurde Seife und Duschgel bereitgestellt und genügend Handtücher waren auch da.
Gegen die Hitze zu der Zeit (+40°C) war ein Ventilator im Zimmer, DANKE dafür!

Cons:

Hab nichts zu beanstanden! :)

Great value to money.
Pros:

Ultra central location, super friendly and lively staff. A bit noisy in the morning but they provided ear plugs which was very nice. I would stay there again.

Cons:

The only reason I did not give it a 10 was the because the towels weren’t white or bright color. I prefer white stuff because you can bleach.

Good for one night.

Aki rövid időre, vonattal érkezik, és olcsó, de kényelmes tiszta szállást szeretne, annak ajánlom.
Pros:

Olcsó szállásnak jó, a város központjában, közel a pályaudvarhoz, Dómhoz, egyéb látványosságokhoz.

Cons:

Szinte csak migráns látható a környéken, de erről nem a szálloda tehet.
