The room was small. I asked for two twins and got a twin and a hide-a-bed. Price was a bit much.

Die Lage vom Hotel ist sehr zentral. Die Ausstattung war auch ganz ok. Das Bett war bequem. Das Personal war nett und hilfsbereit.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit einem Ersatzbett. Leider war dadurch das Zimmer extrem klein, so dass die Koffer kaum Platz hatten. Ausserdem hatten wir eine Verbindungstüre, und wir konnten die Nachbarn jederzeit hören. Das Frühstück war extrem bescheiden, jedoch hat mich am meisten gestört, dass der Raum keine Fenster hatte.
