The hotel's central location worked well. It felt secure around the area and good dining options were close. The staff are super nice. They are helpful with tips for food and shops.

My room was really small and cramped. There were many stairs. I could hear every chat from the other rooms all day and night. It made it hard to sleep.

The location is very central! the staff helped with the baggages, and ingele from the reception was especially helpful. i would certainly recommend this for a short stay. We loved it.

The soundproofing was nearly nonexistent, and i could hear everything from the neighboring room. the fan in the bathroom was very loud. This disturbed my sleep, the double bed consisted of two single mattresses.

mixed feelings about my stay

cramped bathroom

The room felt cramped, especially in the bathroom. there was hardly any space to move around, and opening the door fully was impossible because it hit the radiator. i found myself using the bedroom mirror instead. the noise isolation was HORRIBLE. It sounded like the people next door were in the same room as me.
