decent stay, some minor issues

helpful staff perfect location basic room little ventilation

The staff were really friendly and helpful . i appreciated that they accommodated all my needs (i had quite a few requests!). the location was also perfect. I was a short walk to claraplatz for buses and trams. it was nice and quiet too.

i encountered a few issues with the room. the rooms are very basic, fine. the windows open only very slightly, so there isn't much cross ventilation (it got stuffy).
