Großartige Lage in Zoo-Nähe.
Pros:

Die Lage ist großartig, gleich in der Nähe des Zoos gelegen. Das Frühstück ist okay, hat alles was man so generell erwartet, ist aber nicht "sehr gut". Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und prompt. Die Zimmer sind angenehm klimatisiert.

Cons:

Eigentlich war alles in Ordnung, nichts, was großartig missfallen hätte.

Overall a nice place to stay and friendly staff.
Pros:

The front desk employee was very kind and helpful. During my stay, at night, I had issues with my AC so I called a number for issues at night since the front desk wasn't there and was helped immediately.

Cons:

The car park was a 250m away from the hotel itself.
The elevator in the hotel feels quiet shakey and was making some unsettling movements.
The bathroom isn't fully closed off so there was no real privacy.

Pros:

Rent og fin morgenmad.

Cons:

Det fremgik ikke tydeligt på booking.com, at morgenmaden ikke var inkluderet i prisen.

Vi betalte 52 euro for to voksne og to børn udover prisen for værelset. Dertil kommer 8 euro i turistskat.
