This hotel is ok for a quick stopover. We could see daylight around the door so it is not very soundproof and combined with traffic it was noisy. Room was small…barely room for our luggage. Hotel is just alright.

I was presently surprised at the comfort and cleanliness of the room. Most hotels at this price are not of this quality. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Friendly staff, nice garden but noisy smokers room

For 2 different nights in two rooms.In both rooms the windows could not be closed completely (because of adaptation deficits with the new AC System. Thus the noise of the heavy traffic on the street nearby diminished the comfort greatly. Moreover the second room was filled with an unacceptable smoke-odor, which penetrated all my cloths within the open suitcase Obviously not enough care was taken to prevent smokers from smoking in or too close to the room. At the reception they were not aware of this situation - in both cases the friendly staff at the reception tried to help with air-fresh- spray ..and with taking out the AC System .. in order to be able to close the window at least. The back rooms further back behind the Greens of the nice garden with fountain -further away from the street .. might be somewhat better ( when they are smoke-free with closing windows (?))
