Stayed for one night - 10 minute walk from the train station, friendly service at the reception, rooms clean but very simple - felt more like upgraded youth hostel.

The bathroom could be just a little more clean, and single-use slippers could have been a good idea.

I was expecting to be able to storage my bags for free, but turns out you have to pay a fee, it’s very small though so not a huge complaint.
Booking network, June 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
The only negative note: the luggage storage is paid; we arrived in the morning but the room is available only from 3 PM, making it an essential service (cost 5 euros).

Mould or damp5 of 2851 in 57 reviews
The fact that there is mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, quite a lot.
Booking network, May 2026, rated 8/10 by this guest
The location is very convenient, the only flaw is the mould in the shower seals which could be improved.

Heating and air conditioning5 of 2851 in 57 reviews
The air conditioner was sometimes operational and other times not.

The air conditioning is centrally controlled, so I couldn't adjust it myself, and it was sometimes cold.

Problems in the bathroom4 of 2851 in 71 reviews
Maybe just that they could fix the shower, water goes out from the side.

The bathroom windows couldn't be opened, so over time it started to smell musty and slightly fishy.
