The room is spacious, with private bathroom, the facilities are basic but everything just nice: all you need are there. Breads provided in the pantry are nice, we love the coffee flavour one. It is quite self-service based but everything is easy to use, staff also very responsive through WhatsApp. Location is great, walkable to the center. Very quiet at night. Very recommend to young people and friends (but might not be suitable for family with kids).

Nice, simple, clean, cosy, “ikea style”, good location, friendly staff. Yes it’s a bit noisy but I prefer noise with windows rather than silenses and no day light. So for me it was totally fine. Also the room is very spacious which is a big plus compare to other places
