Good value for money...

Overnight stay during family trip to Austria. Check in was easy, room was big with big double bed and bunk bed for kids. After driving most of the day it was good to have hot shower and comfy bed. Breakfast was good (selection of hot and cold food). In my opinion really good value for money (£88 for 2 + 2 - including breakfast) and if you’re lucky enough you might even get parking in front of the hotel :)

A great option near the station

This is a great basic hotel that knows its customer and serves them well. Very, very comfortable with friendly staff it is ideal to use as a base to explore the area. It is walkable to the station and an easy walk to the city centre although there are trams available nearby too. We loved the honesty bar approach when reception was unstaffed and there are some great food options nearby. Sokrates around the corner is exceptional.

Good value for money....

Arrived on Easter evening so no stuff there but all arrival info was easy to see and the key was waiting in security box. Although hotel is surrounded by block of flats and popular restaurant (right behind corner) it was very quiet. Room was big for family of 4 with welcoming sweets on each bed :) Beds were comfy enough. Tea, coffee facility in each room. Good size bathroom with shower, hair dryer, towels... Breakfast next morning was very very good with big selection of food to choose from. All in all pleasant stay...
