Don't use this place if you like to be pampered. One shower gel to share between two guests, no body cream, no shoe sponge, no bath robes or slippers and you have to ask reception for a shower cap. Minimum breakfast as well. On the other hand, super location, very quiet rooms and a good price value.

An excellent location for all West End activities. Everything very close. Despite this, the hotel was quiet and calm. Staff were very helpful, quickly & proactively resolving a couple of issues had.

Prima Unterkunft, waren schon mehrmals da. Einzig dass es immer noch Teppich in den Zimmern hat, ist nicht sehr zeitgemäss.

Sijainti on aivan loistava! Huone sisälsi kaiken tarvittavan. Pikkuisen sellainen suttuisesti toteutettu remppa ja melko vanhan tuntuinen sänky. Mutta kaikki toimi ja yhden yön reissulle tämä oli erinomainen valinta loistavan sijaintinsa vuoksi.

Die Lage ist Einzigartig und die Betten sind sehr gut. Leider ist die nahe Umgebung nicht ansprechend, die Strasse und Bürgersteige vor der Türe ist sehr abgefrackt. und die grosse Baustelle besteht nun schon seit 2 Jahren.

Im Zimmer war es sehr hellhörig. Jede Tür die geschlossen wird, jede Klospühlung im Nachbarzimmer, Haarfön,... hat man gehört.
