Convenient Stay Near City Center

city center easy checkin

The guesthouse is close to the city center, about a 10 min walk. The room and bathroom were clean and the sheets and towels were fresh. A kettle with coffee in the room was convenient for waking up. Checking in was easy, and the staff extended my checkout time.

The lack of physical locks from the inside worried me. There was no sound isolation and people talking in the room made it hard to sleep. I was not able to reach anyone at the building.

Facilities

8/10

Tea and coffee making facilities are available in each room. Easy self-checkin is available, and the building is located close to many of the city's attractions. The shower has nice hot water and okay water pressure for a decent shower.

soft towels keypad entry thin duvet floor creaks

i found the room neat. soft towels were numerous, felt plush. the bed really did have a warming effect on the whole room, quite fast. the keypad entry to the front door i found secure and easy to use.

the room felt smaller than i thought. the duvet, though adequate, lacked some of the warmth. i could here the floor creaks when other people went by my room, keeping me awake.

The code entry made access simple. It worked like a charm. Having a microwave and electric hob available was super useful. The automated system, bypassing physical check-ins, was fantastic. The codes arrived on my phone instantly and worked perfectly, everything was awesome!

There was a tiny stain on the carpet near the window.
