surprisingly lovely stay!

helpful staff daily towel secure feeling

the staff replaced my towel everyday which i liked a lot. it was organised and i felt secure. the location is good since i could walk to the city centre and the airport isn't far either. many bars and shops were nearby and there was a supermarket just around the corner.

i wish there had been a small refrigerator in the room. it would have been very helpful for storing drinks and snacks. not having one was slightly inconvenient because i had to go out every time i wanted something cold to drink.

Fantastic Stay!

available elevator fast fix warm room great price

An elevator was available, important since my mum was traveling with me. We needed help setting up the TV, and staff fixed it very quickly. I felt warm and cosy. The private room had a bathroom and plenty of space. the price was excellent!

I only experienced a minor inconvenience, the soundproofing wasn't perfect, so I could sometimes hear noises from the corridor (but I had earplugs!).
