    The welcome and general information from Lutz was excellent. The hotel is spotless and our room had everything we required. The location is ideal, next to both train and tram stations. Highly recommended!

    Every staff member I met was very friendly and willing to help. I liked the coffee, that you can drink for free in the "living room". Also, the location is perfect near the city center and the central station. The price was very affordable, a great deal overall for the price.

    Had a great time here. Well equipped apartment. Very clean, access was easy, great location, super kind and friendly hosts. As others have mentioned, yes, the shower and loo are outside the apartment but it’s not a big deal as they’re right next to it. Even if there’s a class, you don’t have to go through the yoga studio itself or something. With your door closed, you also won’t hear anything from the studio during sessions. Would definitely stay again!
