“In my opinion, this spot strikes a good balance: it's a manageable walk to the city center, yet set back enough for a quieter stay. I found the well-equipped kitchen a definite plus, especially for longer stays. While not directly in the heart of things, the location feels more like a residential neighborhood than a tourist zone.”

Functional Stay

functional kitchenworking ovenmicrowave ovenpoor google maps

The room included a functional kitchen. The cooktop took effort to ignite, but the oven and microwave worked well. The room was big enough for my needs. I liked facilities.

Locating this hotel at night proved hard. Google Maps provided a location that was not good. The building looked abandoned from the exterior and there was no staff on site.

Facilities

8/10

The micro apartment provided full equipment, helpful during a short stay. The hotel also featured heating in the rooms. Fast internet access was a positive addition.

Rooms

9/10

The design looked nice and appealing, with a dark-themed decor. The room featured a functional kitchenette. The bed and bathroom were also tidy.

Location

8/10

The hotel location offered good access. Free parking existed at the building's rear and this was an essential service for me. A bakery was not far away.
