The place is a good (but not great stay) for the price. Recently renovated but some aspects need work. Ventilation is poor in our bathroom (no windows left it musty smelling). Some staff was unfriendly.

We picked the hotel because of its excellent location across from the train station. At first we we highly irritated by the malfunctioning elevator and shabby entrance, but then found the rooms to be lovely, modern and clean and also enjoyed the breakfast in the breakfast area the next morning. The second impression is so much better than the first.

The entrance was strange, there are many oddly set up doors that you must squeeze through with your luggage while you try to find reception. The stairwell and hallways were dirty, with stained carpet and general updates needed. The room itself was bright with high ceilings and big windows. Would have almost made up for the bad first impression - but unfortunately it was not clean. The floors showed many visible spots and dirt, definitely in need of a mop. The bathroom was also not well cleaned and the towels were stained. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and seemed clean. However, the hotel is surrounded by very loud bars and we were subjected to extremely loud music well into the night. I slept with headphones on in order to help block out the noise. At some point in the night I awoke to guests in the hotel shouting and slamming doors. As the hotel is not staffed through the night, there was no one to report this to, and the disturbance continued for about an hour. In the morning, the cleaning staff burst into the room without knocking or saying anything, and didn’t apologise when they saw the room was still occupied. Breakfast was ok, but I lost my appetite when I had to sort through several dirty or greasy plates in order to find a clean one.

Rough or Ruff ?
Okay for sleeping. No frills. Basic. Not as ‘rough’ (English similar sounding word) as the hotel is named and other visitors have claimed. Nice chap at reception. Would stay again as reasonable priced.

Clean cozy and convenient......
Very nice room. Clean and well organized and hotel is in a goog location. I found the staff helpful and friendly. It is somewhat hard to find out how to get into the building because there are so may small restaurants and shops that the entrance is hidden. Registration on the first floor is a bit hidden too.... I would stay there again.

Bon rapport qualite -prix.
La chambre est très propre : le ménage se fait au quotidien. Les serviettes, les couettes, les coussins sont très propres. La literie est très confortable. La chambre est spacieuse (grand lit- grand placard) avec des espaces bureau, detente, Tv. La chambre est très bien isolée au vue de l'emplacement très animé le week end. La réception est simple et efficace. Le petit déjeuner est copieux. Il manque juste de l'eau plate. Le personnel est très serviable, agréable, malgré qu'on ne parle pas l'allemand. Je recommande.
