    Room had no Aircon and only a small fan. Window was left open to provide ventilation, and we got attacked by mosquitos. Requested early check-in, but unfortunately, this wasn't available, and we had to wait until 3 pm. to check in. Price was high, especially considering this is a budget hotel.

    The location was excellent, only minutes from the main rail station and the sights of the centre. The room was comfortable. WiFi was decent, and the breakfast was more than adequate. Staff were friendly.

    Room doesn't have enough lighting facilities, its gloomy and dark. It felt stressful if you stay long. Recommend for very short stays. Room size isn't enough and I think they do not have A/C rooms

    Location is great, railway station, tram and tourist attractions are near by. Well cleaned rooms. I'm happy about their service, even though they provide breakfast 7 - 10 a.m., they prepared a small breakfast for me even I checked-out before 7 a.m. So this is highly appreciated.

    The carpet in the room is smelly. The door to the toilet is a coupe one. I was ok with that given I travelled alone.

    Overall good for its money. The location is perfect for both travelling by train and exploring the city with touristic purposes. Wi-Fi connection was more or less ok. The breakfast is plain, but more than enough. There was always food on offer, the breakfast room was well-kept and not overcrowded. The staff is very nice and friendly. There are touristic maps and brochures available. I left my luggage after the check-out, and also used a possibility to work a bit in the small lobby/ breakfast room.

    Had to open the window to cool the room but then the mosquitos flew in . I would like air conditioning or a more powerful fan and perhaps mosquito repellent. the lift needs to be repaired correctly. It is not pleasant to be stuck in a lift.

    Comfortable room, quiet and clean. Ablutions excellent.

    No air-conditioning, the room was quite small, limited hot water. Had to open the window to ventilate the room and subsequently eaten by mosquitoes.

    Location was excellent. Close to the old city and the railway station. Elevator to get luggage to our room. Bed was a good size and linen was fresh. There was a small fan.

    The Wi-Fi connection does not work well and disconnects several times. The hotel is maybe a little bit too expensive and might need some renovation.
