Not the best hotel, but i believe there are better parts of the hotel. Unfortunately we ended up in the "less good" part of the hotel. The room was cleaned, but not clean. The bed was "family sized" and not well made. The sheet kept sliding and unfortunately we got to see the mattress. It was not for the faint of heart. The breakfast was not bad, but I was happy we were only staying for one night. There is a nice deli next to the hotel, for lunch. And if you want to pay for it, there is actually a Starbucks across the street.

Für das Hotel spricht vor allem die Lage. Zudem waren die Zimmer sauber. Die Inneneinrichtung ist aber insgesamt stark abgenutzt. Der Kühlschrank sah sehr alt aus. Es bräuchte eine Renovierung. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.

I loved the location of this hotel. The reception staff though was a bit cold when we arrived, not very welcoming just like meh to us. But the other staff like the gentlemen who help carry our bags up to our rooms, the cleaning staff and the breakfast staff were all so warm and exceptional to us at all times. The room itself was a bit dusty and outdated. One afternoon we came in from a tour and were covered in sweat and dust and wanted a nice cold shower but no water in the sinks or shower head so we had to let reception know and wait about 30 mins til it got resolved. The breakfast was ok, maybe a few more fruit, bread, cheeses and salad options would’ve been nice.

It is definitely a very good choice for the price. I will most likely stay at the same place next time. The only problem was that the wifi in my room was somewhat spotty. When it was very weak, I had to go outside of the room to get proper wifi (there was a chair there so that helped a little...).
