I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with a brilliant location that was perfect for catching the early morning ferry to Hirtshalls. The rooms were reasonably clean and comfortable, which I appreciated for the price. However, the service did take a bit of time, especially since check-in was only until 3 pm. Overall, it was a good value for money, but I wish the rooms had a bit more charm.

I really appreciated the hotel's location, being super convenient for those needing to catch a ferry or heading into the city. The rooms were clean and served their purpose for a quick stay, though they felt a bit cramped. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made my visit more pleasant. On the downside, the overall experience was a bit lacking in terms of value for money, especially with the unexpected guests outside at odd hours.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the train and bus stations, making it easy to get around. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, though the container-like structure with bunker beds isn't the most inviting. The staff is friendly, but the service feels very basic, which might be a drawback if you’re looking for something more luxurious. Overall, it's a decent value for money if you're just passing through.

The hotel is situated in a great location, just a stone's throw from the ferry port, making it perfect for early departures. The rooms are clean but a bit on the small side, and the service was friendly and accommodating. However, I found the prices to be quite high for what you get, especially given the limited size of the rooms. Staying here is ideal if you just need a place to crash before catching a ferry, but don’t expect too much in terms of space or amenities.
