From the reception door the service was pathetic. Had a delayed flight which made us arrive at the hotel after 1am.....The security guard was sleeping together with the lady at reception.....The lady at reception had a stinking attitude and gave us a room which was smelly and had a leak in the bathroom. We had to ask for a change and the next one had 1 bed yet i specifically asked for 2 single beds.....We then later settled for another room but the experience was horrible. If possible please rremove that hotel from your list of possible hotels to stay in that area.

It's basically a place to sleep; everything else is quite basic. It's suitable for budget travelers, so there's not much else to say.

The facilities are average, the hygiene is OK, the environment is relatively quiet, and the service is OK

Die Mitarbeiter waren nett und hilfsbereit ansonsten ist das Hotel sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Sehr unschön und alt. Frühstück war sehr schlecht und sehr kleine Auswahl. Sauberkeit war in Ordnung aber mehr als 1-2 Nächte würde ich dort nicht bleiben können.
