It would have been nice to have a blanket, or even a sheet, on the bed. Room was otherwise large and the bathroom was spacious. Staff was very curt, common area not especially clean, there was no breakfast, the credit card machine was broken. Absolutely brilliant location, however.

Die Betreiber waren sehr unkompliziert. Ich konnte einfach deren Privatlaptops benutzen, um ins Internet zu kommen. Eine sehr familiäre studentische Atmosphäre mit entspannten netten Leuten. Leider gab es keine Handtücher und keinen Safe und unsere Reservierung hatten die Betreiber vergessen. Aber wir haben improvisiert und alles war gut. Leider für Nichtraucher unangenehm.

Hard to find. No signs on street level. Impersonal service/staff. Wifi connection was slow/ intermitent. Common areas smelled smokey. You don't get a key to the main front door - you have to ring the bell to get in, hence why all day & night you can hear the buzzer being rung by people wanting to get in. But location was good for bars & restaurants.
