Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Booked for three nights and stayed one until we found a much nicer hotel. The rooms were very smelly and breakfast was awful. If you don't mind exotic massage shops a sex shop next door and a sex cinema on the other side this may be okay for you.

Very good location to get to Dom and Christmas markets. Shower flooded our first room but relocated without any hassle. Breakfast room too small and ground floor rooms were noisy at night.

The place is close enough to the city center and for the train station. It's easy to get by on foot. For the price and the location is a fair service. Don't expect anything fancy, but the rooms are clean, beds confortable and the breakfast is ok to start off your day of visit.

The hotel rooms were very dated and needed renovating. Shower leaked, shower rail was held up by electrical wire. There was no kettle or refreshments in the room. It's a very loud hotel, lots of doors banging throughout the day and night. The hotel is based next to a sex shop and a sec cinemas. Breakfast is basic but does the job. Staff were friendly. But we won't be returning.

Good hotel,very friendly and helpful staff. Only downside is that the hotel advertises for free drinks if you don't let your room het cleaned, but there where no free drinks and the staff doesn't know anything about it although it's on a flyer in the room. So don't expect any drinks, just let your room get cleaned.
