How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
The spot’s convenient, next to a big supermarket that has everything you need. The food in the ready‑to‑eat area tastes great. My room was tiny, but it came with all the dishes, a microwave, a fridge, and a kettle—really handy. The mattress even had a heating option, which was awesome! The downside was the poor soundproofing: people walking by the door, neighbors chatting, and housekeeping were all loud enough that I couldn’t sleep.

Close to town, but the furniture feels old.

The location works, but the room really needed a full makeover. The coffee table had a permanent stain that had to be thrown out. The bathroom heater didn’t work and the wiring looked like a safety hazard. The rooms were dark because of the wood décor, and they definitely needed a thorough spring clean.

The location is amazing—almost unbeatable for the price! Booking was a breeze and the instructions were clear. The rooms were a decent size, and even though they’re a bit dated, the location and convenience made up for it.

Great spot in the town centre, easy walks to the lake, restaurants, and shops. Right next to a large supermarket. The room was quiet, clean, comfy, and had an outside courtyard.
