“Staying here is certainly a unique experience, offering something beyond the typical hotel stay, however, be aware of potential noise from nearby activities. The location is convenient, close to the wall and East Side Mall, so despite some wear in the rooms, the staff's friendliness and the overall atmosphere leave a positive impression. If you are looking for something different it might be ideal.”
