8/10 Good

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Ok stay - not great but not bad.

We didn’t have high expectations from this place. Check in person wasn’t speaking English but was very helpful. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The common area and specially the restrooms and showers were not very clean. Location is in a middle of nowhere. The price was super high due to the Euro 24 championship. Ok stay but we will probably not stay there again.

Sind dort zu dritt in einem Vierbettzimmer gewesen für eine Nacht zwecks Konzert in Gelsenkirchen. Ein Bett zum Schlafen gab es, jedoch waren die Sanitäranlagen nicht so schön. Für das große Geschäft gab es an sich 3 Toillettenkabinen, von denen eine abgesperrt war und eine vollgeschissen. Zudem gab es keinerlei Toillettenpapier… das ist schon frech! Morgens hing auch ein starker Zigarretenrauchgeruch im Flur. Mit 70€ pro Nase war das Ganze auch schon ne teure Nummer. 20-25 € hätten es auch getan. Ehrlich gesagt nehme ich mir dann nächstes mal ein Zelt mit :D
