Ich fand das Personal mega freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer bietete alles was man für einen kurzen Trip brauchte. Leider rutschten die Matratzen immer wieder von einander was dafür sorgte das man ein zwei male auch auf dem Lattenrost schlief aber dies war kein Problem

The people at the desk are super friendly! The breakfast buffet is generous. There is currently some building work in front which makes some noise after 8 am. A perfect place for backpack travelers and a public transportation pass will be delivered for all your stay.
