"Very convenient, well-located, and quiet place to stay. I'd stay again. The check-in is handled remotely but easy to navigate. The kitchen is convenient, minimally but quite workably equipped. There's a Rewe 3 minutes away. A tram stop just around the corner. A nice patio for relaxing morning or evening. A good corner room with bottled water, toothpaste, and sundries to buy in a pinch."
