Location near the central train station is repeatedly praised for convenience; some guests note the station area can feel rough with many homeless people, reducing perceived safety.

Rooms are described as clean, comfortable and compact but often small (tight corridors, small for families), with comments about small beds and missing in-room fridge.

Basic amenities present (luggage storage, bar, breakfast) but guests mention lack of small fridge/minibar in rooms, limited/paid parking and occasional AC/TV comments.

Numerous strong mentions of excellent price-quality ratio ('best rapport qualité prix', 'Top Preisleistungsverhältnis'), guests consider the hotel good value overall.

ik miste een koelkastje op de kamer,en met qr in en uit lukte bij mij niet. De kaarten werkte wel goed.

Pros:

Location was central, breakfast was great, staff helpful

Cons:

Area is a bit sketchy at night, but nothing the hotel can do about it. You need a key to get in late at night which helps keep it safe inside lobby and other areas

Ich komme wieder
Pros:

Perfekte Lage unmittelbar am Hauptbahnhof. Sehr guter Preis mit Sommerrabatt. Frühstück nicht genutzt

Cons:

alles prima. Die Lidl-Anlieferung morgens um 4.30 Uhr hat gestört wegen des lauten Kühlaggregates, aber nur deswegen weil ich das Fenster geöffnet hatte. Bei geschlossenem Fenster ist alles ruhig.

Molto carino
Pros:

La stanza era molto pulita, carina e confortevole.
La vicinanza alla stazione e ai tram che ti portano in centro è un punto di forza.

Cons:

Il quartiere in cui si trova, personalmente, ritengo non sia molto raccomandabile
