Very nice clean room, enough appliances, codes to your room, seperate womens only shower & bathroom. I had a view out on a parking lot but that does not matter since i didnt come here to just stare out the window. its not in the most prettiest of places but that also doesnt matter to me. If youre not into talking to people, then this hotel is perfect, i spoke to exactly 1 staff memver my whole week stay and it was on my own volition. Great for if youre introverted and just want to be alone. Not noisy. Free Tv, free fridge, clean linnens, nice bed, big window, free kettle and a sink in your room. Great deals for the price. I reccomend.

Everything was good except the washroom door lock needing replacement/repair and it was not done during my stay despite the note stuck to the door saying DoNot Use The Washroom. Further, there was no other option provided for the customers.

Don't book this!

Don't book this, don't trust the information! The information said the room I booked had a private bathroom, but no. The bathrooms were shared, and on separate floors for men and women. There is no free parking either, although that's what the info said. Parking was about 6 €/day, so the price is not bad, but it's important to know you need to pay! If you don't pay, you are likely to get fined (we saw cars with fine-bills on). The bedsheets seemed clean, the floor was dirty.. The window very dirty, with spiders webs and dust. The room was supposed to have a microwave, but it didn't. The reception was not open (nobody there, during hours stated in the info that the reception would be open). Luckily we met some nice people who were familiar with the place and they told us about the parking fee and also said that they hade never seen anyone at the reception. We felt very cheated and in fact did not stay the night. In stead we booked another hotel across the street.

Huone oli siisti, vaikkakin karu. Yleiset tilat olivat sotkuiset. Viereisten huoneiden äänet kuuluvat helposti seinän läpi, joten herkälle nukkujalle en paikkaa suosittele ilman korvatulppia. Budjettimatkailijalle ihan ok.

Yleiset tilat kauheassa kunnossa. Suihkun viemäri ei vetänyt, suihkun pidike rikki ja kiinni kolmella laastarilla seinässä. Suihkutilassa ei mitään paikkaa pesuaineille.. oli pidettävä pestessä kädessä, koska lattialla niin paljon vettä, että olisivat kelluneet pesuvedessä. Keittiö ankea. Huone oli siisti ja sänkyjen patjat hyvät. Ilmastointi toimi.

Kaipaisi parempaa siivousta

Huone oli epäsiisti, verhon takana oli suuria lasinsiruja. Lattia ja seinä oli törkyinen ja kaapin päällä likainen juomalasi. Televisioon ei ollut kaukosäädintä. Vessassa ei käsipaperia.
