The rooms were cosy. Breakfest was served in a bag and was sufficient for us fringe goers. Many fringe theathers were within a walking distance (we like walking, but there are busses available also.) peaceful. Not cheap. But functioned very well for us.

The house was located in a really nice area, quite calm and green. The bed was comfortable, nice pillows, all very clean and tidy. Coffee was great, also an abundance of re-supplies of milk, sugar, and tea available on the first floor and corridor. Overall, a nice interior, easy check-in, friendly staff.

Hotel is really close to the tram line and you can reach city centre in around 20 minutes. The same line also goes to the airport. There is shopping centre nearby too. Rooms were small, but im used to that since this is a budget hotel. There was coffee and tea available for free which was very nice 😊 Hairdryer is available at the reception. We got breakfast on our last day and the selection was good! Despite small dislikes, i would still return here in the future.
