Recently stayed here as an overnight rest en route to our final holiday destination. We booked a budget hotel to keep costs down, and the price was definitely a plus point. The hotel itself is as one expects - a budget hotel close to the motorway - but a couple of things really left us disappointed.
Firstly, although the bedrooms are neat enough, there is a complete lack of decor that leaves one with an impression of what it might be like to spend time in a prison cell. The room was neat and clean, but had nothing one would consider comfortable. A tiny double bed with pillows like half empty sacks of potatoes meant we didn’t really get the rest we needed midjourney. Some small things like decent pillows, USB ports and lighting that didn’t give off an Alcatraz vibe would go a long way to improving overall comfort.
Secondly, and this is the absolute dealbreaker, is the pathetically small shower. Honestly, so small that lifting your arms to lather your armpits was impossible, or turning around would mean bumping the shower tap off. If you can’t enjoy a decent shower after a day behind the wheel, then what’s the point?
We cancelled our booked stay for the overnight leg and paid an extra 20€ at another budget hotel that was, simply put, at least three times better. Not even close.
The hotel does what it says on the tin, but there are a few small things that make what should be a basic overnight stopover a really uncomfortable stay.
