They charge 20 euros for late check in after 7pm, which wasn't informed prior. Hotel location was very difficult to find with no signage.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,011 reviews)

The room is clean and small. It lacks any reasonable place to store your clothes. It’s fine for a one night stay but beyond that you need a chest or dresser to put you clothes in or you live out of you suitcase.
