Avoid if you don’t like moths or support Palestine

Saw moths flying in the room and two big areas of moth eaten carpet Also flying Israeli flag which is odd given the genocide in Gaza taking place

Excellent place for the value of the money

The stay was excellent. The staff were very polite and well accommodating. Easy lift access. The hotel is well connected with public transportation. A mall just opposite has a coop, pharmacy and a few other things for easy grab. The only issue I faced was the toilet, little less lighting, the loose shower fixture, and the curtains were a little weird. However, I feel the stay was good value for the money.

Perfect hotel

Great little hotel. All the staff was super nice. Room was bigger then expected for a European hotel. We wished we would have gotten the breakfast deal, next time. A big plus I was the free bus-tram passes. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a good stay, staff friendly and generally helpful. We did ask for extra pillows and towels, only 1 bath and 1 hand towel in the room, for two people, but did not receive the asked for items. Hotel in a good location for the train station and central city area. The hotel interior was a little tired but perfectly clean.
