"Really nice clean and modern hotel, I loved the ease of self check in and the really useful kitchen with all the essential tools to cook nice dinners - rather pay a bit more on a comfy hotel and save by not eating out."

Functional Stay in Convenient Location

efficient kitchencomfortable bedconvenient parkingmissing furniture

I found the kitchenette especially useful for preparing simple meals. The bed proved very comfortable and I appreciated the coffee provided. The shower was also excellent and parking right outside was a bonus. I consider these points essential for any future traveler.

I noted the absence of bedside tables or a wardrobe. This absence made keeping the room tidy a challenge. Practical furniture is essential in any accommodation.

Dining

9/10

The kitchenette included utensils necessary to prepare meals and an electric kettle. Having these amenities allowed simple food preparation and reduced dining expenses. There was even coffee, tea, and sugar available.

Rooms

8/10

The room featured modern furniture. The shower included shower gel and shampoo. The bed provided comfort and was appropriately sized. Large windows helped.

Facilities

10/10

Check-in occurred easily. Free parking existed. Wi-Fi was available and worked very well. It allowed me to quickly connect all my devices to it and stream with no issues. All of these details are important.

Location

8/10

The location is not far from the city center. It is a short bus ride to the city center. I had no issues moving around to nearby restaurants. I consider that aspect essential for exploring the city.

the studio came equipped with a kitchenette. i also found linens and extra pillows in the hallway cabinet , which was quite useful.

gaining entry to the building was difficult , since i received an outdated system message with an incorrect password. i could not connect to the internet , so accessing the hotel guide for parking information was impossible.

The room was very clean and fully stocked with cutlery. The kitchen also had plates and pans. The beds were very clean and comfy too.

There wasn't a handle on the temperature control for the shower. It meant there was only cold water.

Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

cooking facilitiesgood showermountain viewbuilding exterior

The room included self-contained cooking facilities, great for preparing meals. I found the shower very good and the fridge was a good size. The view of the mountains from the room was fantastic! (I spent some time looking at the horizon).

It was a bit tricky to find the place at night, Google Maps wasn't spot-on. From the outside, it looked a bit like an abandoned building. I knew there would be no staff on site, or a reception but maybe more information would be helpful.

Service

9/10

The check-in was very straightforward because of the door code system. There were extra towels and toilet paper available, which I found convenient. Housekeeping cleaned the dishes. This is not common in many European accommodations.

Rooms

8/10

The room was modern with excellent facilities. I found it spacious and comfortable. The kitchenette had all I needed to cook, including coffee and salt. The bed was comfortable, and I also appreciated the free parking outside.
