Good for the price you pay

We stayed in a two bed room by ourself. Overall, what you pay is what you get. The room was in good condition and the service was friendly. Communication could have been a bit better but for this price I would happily come back.

Sehr sauberes Badezimmer. Alles ist sehr geräumig und jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut und es gab genügend Auswahl. Der Bahnhof ist nur 10 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt und auch alles weitere wie die Stadt, der Zoo,... ist von hier aus gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Es gibt genügend Möglichkeiten sich aber auch im Hostel zu beschäftigen und vielleicht mit anderen in Kontakt zu kommen.

가격대비최고! 조식만 조금 더 보충하면 더좋아요

3인가족 여행에 유스호스텔같은 2층침대가 있는 방이었습니다. 위치가 대로변이지만 아주 조용하고 방도 넓어 좋았지만 구석구석 청소상태는 별로입니다. 제공되는 침구가 너무 오래되서 청결하게 세탁이 된 것인지 식별이 어렵고 조식은 부실힙니다. 하지만 금액대비 위치,접근성, 친절힌 직원, 주변환경을 고려해서 저는 이후에도 해당호텔에 묶으려 합니다 주변친구들에게도모두 추천입니다. 이 금액에 이보다 훌륭한 숙소는 없습니다.

Tolle Unterkunft zu günstigem Preis in Toplage

Einfaches Hotel (eben ein Hostel), mit nettem Personal, sauber und gemütlich. Unser Zimmer hatte keine Gebrauchsspuren und war ebenfalls sehr sauber. Wir waren angenehm überrascht, da wir zu dem Preis nicht viel erwartet haben. Die Lage ist Super, in 5 Minuten ist man zu Fuß mitten in der Fußgängerzone der Altstadt. Das einzige Minus war der Straßenlärm, aber so ist das eben im Zentrum einer Großstadt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
