"Check in was smooth. The room was great, but it needs an upgrade. It was an executive room, but it seemed outdated. The walls need a fresh coat of paint, the curtains a good wash and the paintings a good dusting. But otherwise we liked it a lot. We stayed only one night, 2 children and 2 adults."

"Great location and spacious. You have a kitchen, washing machine and a somewhat working coffe machine. However, there were ants in the bathrooms and one bathroom smelled a bit like mold. Also one of the toilet lids had a crack. I would say that it was a solid experience given the price."
