Top location right in the old town, room + bathroom a bit small and a bit old-fashioned (the house is one of the oldest (half-timbered) houses in Halle!), but everything you need is there. Absolutely problem-free check-in with a numerical code (I've had different experiences before). Great value for money, recommended!

We booked for 3 days, so far everything was okay, after the first night my wife complained about pain in her back and hip. After the second night I can now go to the chiropractor because we can hardly move anymore. Our room was also dirty and the mattresses were so worn out in places that I had to sleep at an angle. So for a good 200 euros for 3 days and hurting like hell, I say never again.

Be careful with cancellations! The older gentleman on the phone assured me that a cancellation could only be done via Booking. However, after Booking asked the guesthouse for an exception in my case (I couldn't start my trip due to a public transport strike), this was rejected (and the €€€ was of course collected).

Small guesthouse in a good location. A bit old. The bathroom needs to be overhauled. Otherwise sufficient for overnight stay purposes. Beds comfortable.

The comparatively low service rating is due to the fact that the guesthouse has no reception. On the day of arrival you will be given a combination of numbers with which you can open the key safe at the entrance door, but there is no latest arrival time.Accordingly, there is no gastronomy (bar, restaurant) or breakfast, but that can all be found in the immediate area - the pension is very centrally located, about a 15-minute walk from the train station, which also means that you may have night owls or the tram (?) (until approx. 1 o'clock) in the ear.The room facilities were standard (TV, bathroom) and I noticed the meticulous cleanliness.

Location in the city center is great, the facilities of the guesthouse are very simple. My room under the roof faced the street and was therefore very noisy at night due to the tram operation. The furnishings are old, but everything is relatively clean. In my opinion the price/performance ratio is not appropriate. Location isn't everything, it was fine for one night. I really liked the communication with the person in charge.

Is very centrally located. The room was very small, the furnishings were a bit out of place and thrown together. But very clean, daily housekeeping. Unbeatable for the price in the middle of the city. If you need a bed for a few nights, this is great.For a longer vacation I would prefer a larger room
