mixed experience with room issues

poor ventilation unclean bathroom

the staff were friendly and helped store my luggage.

The room i booked, "secret bookcase xl", was smaller than expected. it felt cramped, and the ventilation was poor. I felt uneasy because of it. also, the shared bathroom was quite a walk from my room and wasn't always clean.

Quirky, but Disappointing in Key Areas

inconvenient bathroom no luggage space

The shared bathroom situation was quite inconvenient. Toilets were not on the same floor as the room. The path to the bathroom cut through the public bar, so the facilities weren't very clean. my room lacked space for luggage. It had no drawers or chairs.

simple bus routes helpful staff comfortable room

finding the place was simple because bus routes are convenient. Staff really helped out with everything i needed. i got to stay in the 'tram', right in the middle of the hotel, it was quiet. THE room was comfortable and great for rest.

it felt more like a hostel and the price was a bit high. our room was small.

I booked an XL room I recall. The room was tiny and facilities were scarce. The room looked like it needed a thorough cleaning I observed. The fan in the bathroom is loud and cannot be switched off at any moment. It woke the other person up in the middle of the night it seemed.
