    I don't like those thin, almost empty pillows, not possible to sleep well with such.

    Small rooms with everything needed for a short stay. Additionally, fully equipped kitchen on the first floor.

    Nice and budget-friendly stay.

    The interior looks rather old and has a "school trip" vibe to it. But it's completely fine for a short and budget-friendly stay. You can hear noise from other rooms and from the corridor, but it wasn't terribly loud.

    Check-in was easy and straight-forward, the receptionist was very nice. Check-out was easy too. The hotel is budget-friendly, and looks & feels this way as well. The location is good so the price is justified.

    The bathroom is a bit small if you are a taller/bigger person.

    Basic, but clean and gets the job done - a place to sleep in the town for a few nights.

    Terrible check-in/ check-out system. Also a very late check in option. 16:00 a clock is not normal. People were gathering in the hall waiting for the reception to open, and in the meantime there is nowhere to stay or leave the luggage.

    Friendly staff, great location.

    It doesn’t feel like a hotel, more just a room within a apartment complex. Very limited check in time.

    In a quiet location. No traffic noise. Very helpful lady on reception

    The place is like a student's dormitory and can be quite loud. No breakfest options. Pillow I have was quite thin and not comfortable.

    Clean and nice room. Have everything needed for a short stay. Shared kitchen and eating place available on the floor. As a nice bonus, got a cup of coffee from vending mashine.

    Rooms were very new; modern but not fancy. Basic white decor and bare amenities (sort'a like a student dorm room upgraded) .... but there was a refrigerator which came in handy. This 'hotel' also serves as student housing (upper levels apparently). The only big negative was the limited reception hours - so be careful that you don't get stuck having to wait around for the few hours someone will be around. On weekends, reception is totally closed, so if you haven't prepaid you'll be in a heap of trouble getting into your room; and if you've prepaid, the "easy" checking in process can go very wrong if the lockbox with your room keys doesn't work as it should!! No good way to get in touch with anyone responsible for managing the place. Just be aware of all of this before booking!

    The first room I checked into smelled like smoke, but the staff were quick to move me to another room. so, all was okay!

    The internet signal was not very strong in my room. Reception closes at 19h - this is sent via message after you book but it will not appear anywhere else in your booking reservation.

    The room looks very much like a university dorm room, so you have a bed and a good work table. There is a kitchen with a microwave that you can use. It is easy to get from the central station by taking a bus. The receptionist called me to inform me that the reception was going to close and waited a couple of minutes after 19h to do my check-in because my train was late, which was very nice.

    the location isn't too far from the inner city (10-15 min walk) but seems pretty remote. maybe solo female travelers would feel uncomfortable walking there alone.

    it was very clean and very okay for a one night stay. 1 coffee for free & there's a snack dispenser.

    Great, central location, free private parking, fast & troublefree check-in/check-out. It is a students residence with some ground floor rooms converted to hotel rooms. Very basic, but cheap and superclean. What else would you need for a one-night stay?

    It was very clean and spacious, I was for 4 nights in the business room and 3 nights in the standard room during Ars Electronica, both were very good, nice big desk to work at, fridge in both, quiet during the night, supermarkets very close. And 10 min walk from the center. Don't expect anything luxurious, just basic but well maintained and clean.

    Simple touches such as a reading light, perhaps a rug on the floor could help to warm things up. The rooms are in the ground level, so I could occasionally hear people walking past at night on the street, but it is generally a quiet area.

    For the price, the location and room was great value. It is an upgraded dorm room, but everything was sparkling clean, toiletries was provided, and just under 10min walk from the Inner city.

    There are kitchen facilities on each level, there you can prepare your coffee or even cook a meal. Each room has a fridge inside (which is a bit too noisy to not be switched off during the nights!)
