    most nice single room for its price (and even higher prices). Just wondering why, in describing the room on booking, they didn't mention one of the most desirable (at least in summer) feature: a fridge!

    The check in hours are rather late from 16 to 20, and a little bit far from the centre ( 10 minutes walk)

    Excellent value for money hotel 3 minutes walk from the river. Clean , good wifi, coffee mashine. The hotel is in the residential area, so dont expect any cafes or restaraunts in the immediate vicinity, albeit 2 big supermarkets are near by

    Just one night stay, nothing to complain.

    Close to the old Town, worth to price, seems university dorm converted as hotel room. Close to public transport.

    Simplicity joined with efficiency and good staff (if only for 3 or 4 hours a day)
    • Leisure trip

    • Business Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Lack of availability of a single room which led to unnecessary expense. Book with time enough.

    The room was very well designed and with quality modern functional equipment. I had to take a double room because there was no available single room and therefore it became more expensive than what it needed to be. It is a hotel within a student residence, very well organised. The fact that parking was available for a modest fee (actually free with my double room fee) was essential for my trip. Sandra, at the Reception, was the best and most informative welcome I have had in a long time. The location of the hotel is great and bathroom facilities good

    Nice and budget-friendly stay.

    The interior looks rather old and has a "school trip" vibe to it. But it's completely fine for a short and budget-friendly stay. You can hear noise from other rooms and from the corridor, but it wasn't terribly loud.

    Check-in was easy and straight-forward, the receptionist was very nice. Check-out was easy too. The hotel is budget-friendly, and looks & feels this way as well. The location is good so the price is justified.

    The bathroom is a bit small if you are a taller/bigger person.

    Basic, but clean and gets the job done - a place to sleep in the town for a few nights.

    Terrible check-in/ check-out system. Also a very late check in option. 16:00 a clock is not normal. People were gathering in the hall waiting for the reception to open, and in the meantime there is nowhere to stay or leave the luggage.

    Friendly staff, great location.

    It doesn’t feel like a hotel, more just a room within a apartment complex. Very limited check in time.

    The place is like a student's dormitory and can be quite loud. No breakfest options. Pillow I have was quite thin and not comfortable.

    Clean and nice room. Have everything needed for a short stay. Shared kitchen and eating place available on the floor. As a nice bonus, got a cup of coffee from vending mashine.

    Rooms were very new; modern but not fancy. Basic white decor and bare amenities (sort'a like a student dorm room upgraded) .... but there was a refrigerator which came in handy. This 'hotel' also serves as student housing (upper levels apparently). The only big negative was the limited reception hours - so be careful that you don't get stuck having to wait around for the few hours someone will be around. On weekends, reception is totally closed, so if you haven't prepaid you'll be in a heap of trouble getting into your room; and if you've prepaid, the "easy" checking in process can go very wrong if the lockbox with your room keys doesn't work as it should!! No good way to get in touch with anyone responsible for managing the place. Just be aware of all of this before booking!

    The internet signal was not very strong in my room. Reception closes at 19h - this is sent via message after you book but it will not appear anywhere else in your booking reservation.

    The room looks very much like a university dorm room, so you have a bed and a good work table. There is a kitchen with a microwave that you can use. It is easy to get from the central station by taking a bus. The receptionist called me to inform me that the reception was going to close and waited a couple of minutes after 19h to do my check-in because my train was late, which was very nice.

    the location isn't too far from the inner city (10-15 min walk) but seems pretty remote. maybe solo female travelers would feel uncomfortable walking there alone.

    it was very clean and very okay for a one night stay. 1 coffee for free & there's a snack dispenser.
