Great place for a one-night stop - no frills but shower was great and staff super friendly. Bed was unfortunately very hard and pillow flat so I didn’t sleep particularly well, but it was fine for a night. Location hard to beat and the bar downstairs is great!

No frills but convenient.

This is a great choice if you just need a place to sleep because you're going to be gone all day doing tourist stuff. Good location, good value, nice amount of space in the room. There was no t.v. (which is fine, just unusual) and the bed wasn't especially luxurious. One of the light fixtures worked only occasionally. I would stay there again with no hesitation if I was on a budget. We were worried it would be loud, being above a bar, and while we could hear people downstairs, it was never so obtrusive that we couldn't sleep, just a quiet murmur.

Convenient location room was clean. Very nice helpful staff. Restaurant food very good. That being said it was hardly a room. We reserved a double room not a room with bunk beds, only a shelf on the wall with tea pot. Only window ventilation and only one stool to sit on, no place to store your clothes. No TV. We stayed at the hostel last year and the room was much larger and a TV in the lounge.

I had a single budget room and for the price it would have been good value but for two issues. Firstly the mattress needs to be replaced as you can feel every spring and secondly even budget rooms should have a certain standard of clenliness and the bird crap on the outside of the window was just unacceptable. On the plus side the shower was excellent and the room had a good radiator so very warm. Wi-Fi was patchy. Also the single room 3 was not too noisy at night which could be an issue with other rooms.

Super kind staff, room was up on 3rd floor, no lift. Neighborhood was pretty raucous though the actual pub noise was absolutely minimum so not too loud to sleep. Tons of places to eat in the neighborhood. Very central and short walking distance to both bus depot and train station. I would consider staying here again.

Hot in room. Loud as would be expected as it is above a bar, city center. Not good for sleeping if you’re not participating in the nightlife.

Eenvoudig, maar functioneel

Prima verblijf. Netjes, al zou ik niet voor dit soort vloerbedekking kiezen in een 'hotel'kamer. Kleine kamer, met vrijwel geen faciliteiten, maar puur als slaapplaats heb je niet meer nodig. Fijne douche op de kamer. Bed was acceptabel, maar niet super. Het was erg warm op de kamer, ook al was de temperatuur buiten dit niet. Benieuwd hoe warm het hier op echte warme dagen kan worden.

Sympathisch

Das Personal an der Bar war sehr nett. Um zu den Zimmern zu kommen gibt es einen separaten Eingang. Das Zimmer war sauber und nicht 08:15. Es hat mir sehr gefallen.
