An ok stay but we didnt see any staff during our stay as the reception has very limited hours (we stayed Friday-Sunday) so it felt quite anonymous. Other guests were clearly smoking in the communal areas as there was an unpleasantly strong smell of smoke in the corridor outside our room.

Not the view we were expecting…

Not many options in the area. Flooring is just stuck on and slippery! Had to ask them to make it safer to walk on w/ quick reclean. No AC, loud construction out of window. The plus is that they have a cute bar/snack room downstairs.

Der Self Check Automat draussen ist ein absolutes no Go. Da die Temperaturen um den Gefrierpunkt waren hat der Touchscrean kaum reagiert. Wir standen 20 Minuten bei eisiger Kälte vor dem Automaten bis es endlich klappte!!
