Really unclean, had to ask the staff to unclog the drain in the shower as it was flooding and our feet were under a pool of water, when the unclogged there was a huge clump of someone else’s hair, the shower door also wasn’t clean and a lot of the place was dirty - the area was great to stay but that’s about it

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.

Avoid if you want comfort

We arrived at the 'hotel' checked in at 5 p.m. we were given the room card, on arrival at the room, the card did not open the door. We asked a room service person to let us in, the bed was bare, no bed clothes, no kettle, no chair, I spoke to reception, after a lot of messing around the door entry was fixed, the bed was made, I had to request a kettle a second time, the kettle arrived and tea bags and coffee sachets were just dumped in the kitchen area. The bed was very uncomfortable, no chair was provided during the stay. Breakfast comprised of cooked meats and boiled eggs, bread was provided but the toasters were not up to scratch, the bread had to be toasted 3 times to get any colour on it, this left it dry and rubbery, the rolls were stale, very poor. Access to the reception area was via the room key at the entrance, this was hit and miss, working when it felt like. This place is student accommodation, and is very basic, it is not advertised as such. Doors are heavy and are continually banging during the day and night.

OK stay

Totally OK stay. Student living which is a hotel during summer. The room has a fridge and s stove, coffee brewer and a toaster som you can easily prepare food yourself. The bed is not at all comfortable. Very firm. The shower is ok however we had to ask for assistance with the drain. Breakfast is ok. Lication is walking distance ti the castle.

SÀngen var otroligt hÄrd, var som att sova pÄ en planka. Fanns ingen bÀddmadrass. VÀldigt lyhört, man kunde höra alla utanför rummet och pÄ nÀtterna nÀr dörrarna stÀngdes och mÀnniskor pratade. Rummet var rent och modernt. Duschen tog vÀldigt lÄng tid pÄ sig att suga ner vattnet. Liten frukost men tillrÀcklig. Annars var det ett fint hotell.

Hotell for de som ikke er opptatt av orden/ komfor

Hotellet virker til Ä vÊre drevet av studenter, selv om de fleste var hyggelig og imÞtekommende sÄ var det naturlig nok store mangler pÄ organisering og kompetanse, eksempelvis rundt frokosten som bare var kaos og det var tomt for det meste hele tiden. Rommet virket til Ä vÊre ok vasket den ene dagen noen hadde vÊrt innom, men sengetÞyet var flekkete og man mÄtte be om nytt. Ellers var sengen totalt forferdelig, ekstremt hard og liten selv om det var dobbelseng var det ikke plass til 2 voksne mennesker.

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