Overall Summary
While the hotel's location is convenient and some amenities are adequate, the lack of soundproofing and the unclean minibar experience overshadow these positives. I would hesitate to recommend this hotel for a peaceful stay. If possible, maybe to bring ear plugs when you visit the hotel.
Pros
+ Convenient Location: Within a short walk of trams, buses, and a train station, the hotel provides easy access to the city's transportation network, allowing visitors to reach the old town within minutes.
+ Basic Amenities: The minibar stocked two bottles of sparkling water, tea bags, and coffee bags, catering to basic refreshment needs.
+ Cleanliness: The bedding, towels, furniture, and shower room were generally clean, with a generous supply of toilet paper.
+ Efficient Heating: The heater in the room effectively maintained a comfortable temperature.
+ Affordable Price: A flyer in the hotel advertised a discount for guests who book directly through the hotel's website. This made the hotel a more budget-friendly option.
+ Self-Check-in: Guests can conveniently check in from a self-service machine at the entrance, streamlining the arrival process and saving time. This feature is particularly appreciated for those on tight schedules or who prefer to avoid lengthy check-in procedures.
Cons
- Inadequate Soundproofing: The hotel's soundproofing was woefully inadequate, allowing conversations, TV shows, and even phone calls from neighboring rooms to intrude on my stay. The clarity of the audio was startling, as if the neighboring activities were occurring within my own room. I was initially skeptical about the extent of the soundproofing problem, but my doubts were dispelled as the sounds of my two neighboring rooms infiltrated my space throughout the night.
- Unattended Minibar: The minibar could have benefited from more thorough attention from housekeeping. A used spoon with coffee residue was left in the minibar, indicating a lack of attention to detail.
