Tan

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The service was absolutely terrible. It was impossible to reach the property, none of our messages through the app were answered. They even got our check-in day wrong. At 2AM, the emergency contact number posted on the door told us we couldn’t check in until the following day. When I offered to send a screenshot of my Expedia reservation, she refused and insisted we wait. I sent it anyway, and only then did she finally give us a code. The entire process was stressful, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. The only upside is its location.

Perfect for just a place to sleep

Very sweet little room we had to twins. Storage is good 2 wardrobes to share stuff. All very clean and beds were comfy. Check I in very easy they just give you a code for keys. Bathroom was clean however it was very small and no shower curtain or door so the floor got very wet and had to use our hand towels to mop it up leaving us with no fresh hand towels

Older Hotel with character

Location was good, about a half mile walk to the Cathedral. Rooms are simple, but comfortable. No elevator so you will have to walk up 1-4 flights of stairs. Breakfast was included with a selection of breads, cheese and cold meats. Free parking was a public lot half a mile away and was only free during the night. Staff during the day was friendly and helpful. No staff onsite after dark, but you are given a key to a side entrance. Street side can be a little noisy at night.

Well priced centrally located hotel

Nice hotel with friendly helpful staff. Only downside, if it is a downside is front door is closed at 7PM and there are no staff there until next morning. You are given a key to a side door but not sure what would happen if there was an emergency.

Very close to city - convenient!

They do not have double beds, so don't expect it! But the single beds were clean and tidy. Breakfast was excellent. There is NO FREE PARKING - but it is available at only 6 Euro for 24 hours, which is good.

Top Preis -Leistungsverhältnis. Rewe ist 3 Min entfernt, Cafe, Bäckerei (und Vietnamese) gegenüber. Allerdings kann man die Fenster zum Schlafen trotz Ohrstöpsel nicht wirklich geöffnet lassen, da der Lärm zu laut ist. Bei geschlossenen Fenstern ist alles top. Nur dass es es bei Hitze dann ziemlich warm im Raum wird, da weder Klima noch Ventilator zur Verfügung stehen.
