This is a limited to no service hotel. Reception closed for check-in, which is a first for me. Miniscule shower. Poorly maintained. Antiquated. Noisy. Tiny desk with mismatched chair. Electrical outlets in the wrong places. This should be considered a one-star hotel and priced accordingly. I can offer only two positives about this hotel - hardwood floors and towel heater.

Sehr nette Rezeption, die extra für mich länger blieb, obwohl der Check-In schon geschlossen hatte. Was ich vermisste: einen Wasserkocher im Zimmer.
