5 stars in terms of value for money. The beds, the mattresses, and the frequency of room cleaning could be improved, but other than that, it's pretty good and quiet place to stay at.

This is a good value compared to some of the other hotels in the area. It is a student dormitory that is turned into a pop up hotel in the summer. The name of the hotel does not appear anywhere so travels should just look for the Vita building. The ground floor lounge and breakfast areas are fantastic. The studio rooms are modern and clean with good amenities including a small kitchen. The biggest downside is there is no ventilation and the small window does little to help so my room was very warm. I ended up solving the problem by purchasing a fan during my stay which was then fine. They should really furnish all of the rooms with fans. Housekeeping is not as good as a hotel as it seems to only happen on certain days and my room was never cleaned in 3 days. Otherwise, this is a good value and does fine for a stay as long as one doesn't need a full feature hotel.

Es handelt sich um ein Apartment-Haus für Studenten. Die Aussstattung der Küchenzeile ist spartanisch, 1Pfanne, 1 Topf, ein bisschen Geschirr und Besteck, ein Toaster und ein Wasserkocher. Alles war mit einem Schmierfilm überzogen. Lappen oder Abtrockentücher gibt’s nicht, aber in den Check out-Richtlinien steht, dass man am letzten Tag alles abwaschen soll. Es gibt einen Mülleimer, der mitten im Zimmer steht. Im Bad gibt’s keinen Papierkorb. Das Apartement wird nicht gesäubert. Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach und obwohl es bis 10.00 Uhr geht, ist schon lange vorher kaum noch was da. Aufgefüllt wird nur Brot. Auch einen Platz zu finden ist schwierig. Ich habe die Interkunfz nur wegen der Nähe zum Castle gebucht. Sie war völlig überteuert für das, was man bekommt. Ich rate ab.

Studentenhotel ist kein Hotel

Wer ein Hotel erwartet, wird verärgert sein. Zu recht! Denn so wird das Hotel im Internet angepriesen...Der Service war lau, das Bett zu klein für Zwei, das Frühstück ziemlich mies...nasses Geschirr, harte Brötchen, nach 1 Stunde Frühstückszeit war vieles leer und wurde auch nicht aufgefüllt, keine Eier, viel zu wenig Konfitüre, keine Auswahl an Obst (nur Körbe voll Äpfel), zu wenige Sitzplätze, die Tische wurden in der ganzen Frühstückszeit nicht einmal abgewischt....und nebendran die Waschmaschinen, vor denen die dreckige Wäsche lag...für uns nicht wieder...habe etwas besseres erwartet, war aber zu all den noch teureren Hotels die einzige Alternative.
