Very nice clean room, enough appliances, codes to your room, seperate womens only shower & bathroom. I had a view out on a parking lot but that does not matter since i didnt come here to just stare out the window. its not in the most prettiest of places but that also doesnt matter to me. If youre not into talking to people, then this hotel is perfect, i spoke to exactly 1 staff memver my whole week stay and it was on my own volition. Great for if youre introverted and just want to be alone. Not noisy. Free Tv, free fridge, clean linnens, nice bed, big window, free kettle and a sink in your room. Great deals for the price. I reccomend.

Modest and decent space to stay in casual/business needs when you just need to sleep with low budget. Bring your own grub and drinks, there are no kiosks or shops nearby but fridge in the room and kitchen available. All Day Breakfast etc. can be found at the Heymo hotel nearby. B-building is well hidden, hope they put some signs over there. And do not expect any frills :-) .

Don't book this!

Don't book this, don't trust the information! The information said the room I booked had a private bathroom, but no. The bathrooms were shared, and on separate floors for men and women. There is no free parking either, although that's what the info said. Parking was about 6 €/day, so the price is not bad, but it's important to know you need to pay! If you don't pay, you are likely to get fined (we saw cars with fine-bills on). The bedsheets seemed clean, the floor was dirty.. The window very dirty, with spiders webs and dust. The room was supposed to have a microwave, but it didn't. The reception was not open (nobody there, during hours stated in the info that the reception would be open). Luckily we met some nice people who were familiar with the place and they told us about the parking fee and also said that they hade never seen anyone at the reception. We felt very cheated and in fact did not stay the night. In stead we booked another hotel across the street.

Kokonaisuus kokemus huono

Hotels.com laskutti 223.99 euroa. Forenomin laskun kuitti on 175.00 euroa mistä johtuu erotus. Maksoin 48.99 euroa ennemmän alkuperäisen hinnan mukaan. Huoneessa ei ollut kahvin- eikä vedenkeitintä , huone oli parhaat päivänsä nähnyt kaksikymmetä vuotta sitten.

Huone oli siisti, vaikkakin karu. Yleiset tilat olivat sotkuiset. Viereisten huoneiden äänet kuuluvat helposti seinän läpi, joten herkälle nukkujalle en paikkaa suosittele ilman korvatulppia. Budjettimatkailijalle ihan ok.

Omituista toimintaa

Ihmetyttää sellainen asia että kun menimme hakemaan tavaroita jo edellisenä päivänä ennenkuin majoitus päättyi, niin avainkoodi ei toiminutkaan. Soitin Forenomille ja sanoivat että on rikki ja ilmoittavat sitten kun on korjattu mutta eivät ole vieläkään ilmoittaneet mitään. Ei tässä huvikseen viitsi jatkuvasti täältä kaukaa ajella sinne eikä saa edes omia tavaroitaan pois!!!!!!!!!!!!!
