"We stayed here due to the proximity to Maximum Uniq, as we went to the metal festival this weekend. Mission accomplished! Very close to everything by bus, and a 5 minute walk to the metro. I rated this stay overall a 4/5 because of the beds and the pillows, which were both rather uncomfortable, particularly the pillows. And, a bit nit-picky, but the coffee in the room was almost undrinkable. However - and this is something I dont see very often - they had cleaned the water kettle. Good job! Breakfast was great, omelet station was great."
