Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning. A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance. Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help. I don’t recommend this place.

Only for sleeping
Upon arrival the room was not clean. The whole place is crying for a renovation. The location is perfect and the bed is comfortable. Mold in the bathroom, ventilation is unefficient.
