6/10 Good

Friendly staff. The rooms need an upgrade.
Dante, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Das Zimmer war in einem äusserst desolaten Zustand. Im Zimmer befand sich ein defektes Doppelstockbett. Die Matratze war voller flecken und es roch penetrant. In der Küche liefen Käfer über die Kücheneinheit und der Kühlschrank war verdeckt.
Raphael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy fast check in. Heat pump unit made things comfortable. Not common in lower priced accommodation. Easy check out. Good value. Happy to return.
