Nice staff, good location, walkable from the train station, trendy, lots of young adults. Grocery stores nearby.
Leaky windows, spotted sheets and a mattress so hard the floor would be a softer alternative.
The elevator was scraping against the walls on the ascent to 7th floor. We didn't dare taking it back down.
The whole hotel looked like it had been occupied by squatters with stains on floors and walls.
I highly recommend this place. Amazing experience, got a free upgrade to the main hotel . The breakfast is affordable and a lot to choose from. Very friendly and helpful staff. I have no complains at all and I will gladly book them again.
Not great when you want to sleep because people are so loud when they come back late at night, slamming doors, banging and talking loudly at 3am. Didn't sleep much.
