The private rooms are tiny rooms, barely fit the bed. Transit is few steps away so you can take whatever you need to get to your destination. Ideally for backpackers or freelancers but I don’t recommend for family travel

Disliked: Cleanliness
Easy to find, decent location, but room was very dirty. moved the twin beds apart and there was so much dust underneath that my black socks were white with so much dust. Bed sheets had hair from previous users. Bathroom was fairly clean though. Seems like they focus on certain areas more than others. Will not be staying here again.

The stay wasn't nice. First, the reception was inattentive and gave us a dirty room. When I complained the response was 'We do clean it eventually, you can have it', which I said I wasn't having, that I needed a clean room from the start. They got us a partially clean room. They never explained the checkout process and honestly, it felt like we were bugging them instead of being clients.

Never again! Rude staff and unclean room.

Extremely rude staff when checking in, that was actually the exact moment when we decided never to stay there again! We stayed 6 persons in 3 dubbel rooms for 280 euro per night and room in February. Apart from that, it is very very worn down, you dont get linens for your bed, only the cotton thing that sits around the mattress. Only 1 foam matress and nothing else, the pillows were extremely flat and when we asked for another, they didnt get it for us so after going down to the lobby again (only 1 elevator working the entire stay, and its for 3 persons, in a huge hotel.) They finally have us another but of course without anything around.it, so we had to wrap the towel around ot to sleep on it. It says on the door that they will.empty trash and desinfect the room daily, but that doeas NOT happen. (None of our 3 rooms) neither new rowels or toiletpaper or shampoo, and also bring your own cups, thats is NOT included in the €1950 + we paid for our visit. STAY AWAY! I wiuld say this is worth max €40-50 per room, on a good day. Ps the webpage picture upload doesnt work, so i cant share my photos . /Regards

Das Badezimmer war nicht ganz sauber, der Boden fühlte sich sehr klebrig an. In dem Zimmer für 4 Personen, das ich bekam, stand ein Etagenbett und zwei Einzelbetten, diese beiden Einzelbetten standen direkt nebeneinander und wir konnten sie nicht trennen. Das bedeutete, dass ich praktisch neben einer Person schlafen musste, die ich nicht kenne, das hat mir nicht gefallen.

The property does not have AC which means that the windows need to be open, and because the area is very noisy (yelling and honking until 4am) it is very difficult to sleep.

Ich bin spät eingecheckt, das hat soweit auch problemlos geklappt. Allerdings musste ich dann feststellen, dass das Bett nicht bezogen war. Weder Laken noch Bettbezug war vorhanden. Andere Gäste im Zimmer haben mit Decke ohne Überzug geschlafen, zwei von vier hatten Bettzeug. Dusche/Klo hätten auch sauberer sein können. Hab mich bei Expedia beschwert. Die Reaktion von Expedia fand ich gut und es wurde im Anschluss von Expedia die Unterkunft kontaktiert. Von der Unterkunft selbst bin ich aber enttäuscht.
