Bonne situation
Bonne situation pour cet hôtel à l'équipement simple mais suffisant. Personnel accueillant et polyglotte, réception ouverte 24h sur 24.
Quoi de plus pratique que cet hôtel directement à la sortie de la gare ? L'accueil est très aimable, le logement propre mais sommaire. Petit déjeuner très varié.
Für Messebesuch und Städtetrip verkehrsgünstig gelegenes Hotel mit akzeptabler Preisgestaltung. Umgebungsgeräusche spätestens ab Mitternacht erledigt, jedenfalls bei meinen diversen Aufenthalten dort. Immer wieder gern!

Le séjour été agréable, on trouve tout ce qu'on veux pour passé une bonne nuit.
Toilette abgebrochen, im Ersatzzimmer roch das Badezimmer nach Frittierfett (?)... Beim Frühstück konnten wir selbst miterleben, daß ein Gast angeschnauzt wurde, weil er darum gebeten hatte, de Frühstückstisch abzuputzen (?).

Die Dusche wechselt im 15 Sekundentakt zwischen kochend heiß und eiskalt, ohne dass man den Hahn berührt.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The kitchenette was poorly serviced. There was no cooker provided to make light and simple meals that guests may wish to make. There was no weighing scale for use of guests. The staff were friendly and helpful though.
Zimmer 201 nicht sicher!Türe ist leicht aufzubrechen wegen Holzbefestigung am Türrahmen!
Ersatzzimmer 204 zur Alleinbenutzung i.O.
Nur eine Steckdose im Zimmer!Sehr ungünstig platziert!
Übernachtung für eine Nacht gerade noch möglich!
Mageres Frühstücksbuffett!Keine Eierbecher vorhanden!
Wird nichts nachgereicht,obwohl Personal mehrfach vor Ort!
Kaffee gut.Harte Brötchen!
Hotel trotz relativ günstigen Preis nicht zu empfehlen!!
Das Zimmer hatte auf dem Teppichboden Flecken und das Stockbett war Defekt so wie die Stuhlrücken lehne auch
Für eine Nacht als Unterkunft zum ausruhen ist OK aber für ein Wochenende oder Länger nicht empfehlenswert.

Muy bien situado.
Un hotel para estancias cortas. Relación calidad / precio muy bien.
Hotel is in a lovely area. 1min walk to train station and also to the zoo.
Our room didn't have air condition.
We booked a double room but it turned out that two beds had just been put together and there was a big gap.
