Easy check in and check out process. Rooms are incredibly quiet especially for such a central location. Curtains are not blackouts, if that’s something you’re looking for. Excellent value for the price and location.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt in guter Lage

Ich hatte einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Der Check-in verlief schnell und unkompliziert, selbst zu später Stunde – das Personal / Studenten waren durchweg freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet, mit einem bequemen Bett und einem Schreibtisch – ideal für einen kurzen Aufenthalt. Besonders positiv war die gute Lage des Hotels, von der aus man sehr schnell alles wichtige erreichen konnte. Gerne wieder.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clean, quiet, comfortable, and easy to access. Was not sure what to expect, given that it is a university residence, but I was pleasantly surprised. Only feedback is that I would have liked the option to have towels/linens changed or the room cleaned at some point (perhaps halfway) for a 5 day stay. Overall good value and would happily return.

Student dorm room with bed, desk, (nasty) desk chair, with free access to washroom, showers, and kitchen. Other guests were respectful and friendly. Bikeshare bikes available right outside the building. Easy to walk to streetcar and busses - public transportation. Would consider staying again. Thanks from Iowa, USA.

The staff were cordial and helpful. The facility was clean and functional as you might expect of a university residence. Just the basics but when the basics are all you require then this option is an excellent one. Would happily use it again whenever the occasion arises.

The room was perfect for my needs, but the showers were not so clean and the kitchen was terrible (mostly because other residents would not clean up properly, but part of the issue is also that not enough is provided for people to cook and clean).

Melanie

Disliked: Cleanliness
From outside the rooms the building looks good. But the bathrooms were dirty, the bedroom was dirty (vacuuming would have clearly been needed). There were light-filtering blinds but they still let light through. All doors auto-shut with a bang. No temperature control and it was too warm for my taste. The bed linens were clean and smelled good, however.
