Very good location close to both bus and tram stops. 20-30 minutes walk to the old town.

Monotonous breakfasts.

The outside looks a bit dubious, but the inside is rustic yet clean. It offers the exact value for money you would expect.

Do be aware that there are no lifts.

The room was very tired but exceptionally clean. For this price, it was a nice deal. Very nice breakfast! Was traveling for work and needed a place to sleep.

Could hear how 'the neighbor' flushes the toilet or is taking a shower.
