Good breakfast. Spacious room. Free tram tickets. Helpful staff.

Susan United States of America

Staff was friendly and helpful. Free parking for hotel guests despite in the outer rims of the city center. Rooms are quite big. Location is really the best. It is literally next to the city center.

Anonymous Netherlands

Very good hotel for a better price. Nice and quiet rooms. Very good and diversified breakfasts in the form of buffet. Central location however you need some 15 min walk from main railway station (but you can take a tram/subway). Cleaness.

Dariusz Poland

Free on-site parking, lovely spacious room, bright modern clean bathroom. Lovely breakfast included in the price - they even made some more scrambled eggs just for me when the tray ran out.

Robert Netherlands

Room was a good size and staff were very helpful with special requests and providing travel advice and travel passes. Hotel allowed guests to use restaurant in the evenings to play games from trip to Spiel.

Paul United Kingdom

Good size room with everything required (desk, chair, wardrobe, fan, lamps, tv, hairdryer, bath etc). Comfortable beds, staff were great and spoke many languages. Breakfast was good.

Simon United Kingdom

Even though it was near a main street it was rather quiet in the room. Good breakfast selection.

Silvia Germany

All the front desk staff was super friendly and welcoming. The wifi was really fast and the connection stable. There's free off street parking next to the entrance of the hotel. The room was super clean and looked like it had been renovated not too long ago. The shower was amazing too! Location is great as well, right next to a tram station who gets you to the main train station in no time! Also, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes are only a little walk away.

Ellibow Germany

The beds were very comfortable. Having a toilet separate from the bathroom was a bonus.

Ray Australia

The fact the the room two bedrooms were separated and the shower was very clean and comfortable.
