MayotterFranceSéjour agréable dans un environnement dynamique et à proximité de tout.
Chambre confortable ainsi que les lits
Salles de bain communes et toilettes. Pour les toilettes, ce n'est pas pratique en pleine nuit.

CarmenGermanyNie wieder!
Das einzig positive war die Lage. Gleichzeitig hat die Lage aber auch ein großes Manko. Extrem laut, direkt über einem McDonald's, mehrere Bahnen die rund um die Uhr fahren plus Autostraße.
- dreckig, Flecken am Kopfteil…
LevinGermanyTolle Lage und sehr günstig.
Sanitäranlagen hätten etwas sauberer sein können aber war trotzdem in Ordnung.

MiaCanadaVery nice, and comfortable
The staff were super nice and the rooms neat and spacious, not in the centre but still good places nearby and a tram really close
Just a bit over priced
