The only drawback is the possibility of parking. But there is a parking space in the large parking lot.

The hotel is located in the middle of the old city. It is cozy and has complete facilities. The bathroom is clean. There is a table for eating in the room. There is a personal locker for storing luggage with a key lock. If you check in late, the hotel will inform you of the code to open the door and how to check in yourself, clearly and easily. I think this hotel is very good for blackers.

Bad hostel. I booked and paid for an apartment here via Booking.com. It certainly wasn't cheap.Consciously chose this apartment as a pit stop because of the number of beds. 2 bunk beds and 1 double bed. There are 6 of us.Due to a system error by Booking.com that set all ages of the children to 0 years, this Hostel took an extra €50 on top of the €125 that I had already paid.Really sad and scam. That's what you call taking advantage of a situation.And after asking what the problem should be. I just paid for the complete apartment, the answer was yes, but cleaning costs will be added. As if there is suddenly more cleaning to be done. Weak excuse and really sad. And I keep reporting how old my children are to ask for even more money. Truly the biggest nonsense I have ever experienced before.As a family, I would first consider carefully whether you want to spend the night here. And that amount of money for an apartment like that is not worth it.No parking space. They said you should park somewhere 10 minutes further along the Danube.

Rooms no longer quite up to date (sockets), barracks feeling. Anonymous, loveless atmosphere. Positive: Everything works. There is a kitchen with a fridge and icebox, all accessible at any time via code. Bicycle parking space in the inner courtyard is accessible at any time. Price is rather borderline: good enough for sleeping, eating and showering. Not suitable for “holidays”.
