Hotel is not in the cleanest area, but it has its vibe and I actually liked that. There is shop nearby, a lot of restaurants and places where you can eat nice breakfast. Easy to get with metro or bus. Check in was very easy, reception is 24/7 available, towels in the room, we had a really nice view from top floor, with really nice vibe. Fridge is in the room, shower, toilet. Pillows could be a little bit bigger. Personel is really helpful and friendly. Most important, everything was clean, 10/10!

The staff were wonderful—very friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally clean, and the entire place was quiet and well-maintained. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants and supermarkets, and public transportation (buses and trains) is just a short walk away. For Muslim travelers, there's a large and beautiful mosque only five minutes away on foot.

Excellent condition, nothing to compare about the room. Did not like the breakfast as the lady working at the cafe did not tell me I can get hot breakfast. Instead I ended up with a cold sandwich. Plus Hotels.com charged me for two breakfasts while the hotel only has given me one coupon. So don’t purchase the breakfast 👍

The hotel was clean and well maintained. Staff were very helpful. The area that the hotel was in was a getto looking area and the warned us not to go out at night because there had been stabbings in the area. This area was unsafe. With that in mind we did not feel safe or comfortable being out after dark and we felt confined to our room until the next day.
