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.

Pros:

The check-in process was simple, and the hotel was located very close to the nearest station, which was convenient. However, there were several unexpected extra charges.

Cons:

There were no clean bed sheets or pillowcases provided, and we had to pay an extra €4.50 for them. We also had to pay €1 for a hand towel and €1 for a bath towel, which I found very unusual.

The kitchen was fully equipped, but a €20 deposit was required to use it. I did not see this information clearly mentioned before booking; otherwise, I probably would not have booked this place. What was even more frustrating was that another guest had paid the €20 deposit but still could not use the kitchen because it was closed.

The coffee machine charged €1.50 for a cappuccino, but unfortunately it tasted very bad. It was basically just warm milk with very little coffee flavor.

Overall, the location and easy check-in were positive, but the extra charges and the kitchen situation made the stay disappointing.

Pros:

Хороший Hostel, замечательно провели время .Реально 5 минут от вокзала, и если идти в Altstadt , то можно подъехать на автобусе и пешком тоже совсем недалеко. Расположение нам очень понравилось. Персонал приветливый, в комнате чисто.

Cons:

Постельное белье и полотенца за дополнительную плату .Из пожеланий: хотелось бы видеть в душевой зоне моющее средство и в комнате хотя бы пару стаканов для воды.
