Hotel Conti Am Hauptbahnhof

Hosts are nice and friendly

This hotel is in a great position opposite the railway station. Plenty of restaurants nearby to explore. Staff were very friendly and professional. Fantastic choice of food at breakfast

The most adorable thing about Hotel Conti is its retro feel: the 90s decor, the hefty room keys that you leave at the front desk, the tiny Euro-shower that leaks water through the door seal. It is clean, and functional, and very well situated just across from the Bahnhof. Could be loud if facing the road, but my room faced the back and was very quiet.

The hotel almost feels like I travelled back in time. You get a real key with the big knob attached, and you’ll have to return it to the front desk when you leave the premises. There was no service of the room during my entire stay, no towel service, nothing. They charge you 15 euros for uncovered parking overnight, while you can self-park in the parking garage next door for 5. In the room, there’s no coffee maker, free bottles of water, or a safe. They do have body wash for the shower, which is nice. All in all, it’s a decent hotel, but the price for the room is too high for what it is.

Superb location right across from the train station where coffee shops, bakeries and other fast food options can be found. 10-15 mins walk from historical areas. Room and hotel were clean, got a welcome drink too. Not a cozy place per se, just very functional - I think that's what they are going for. There are a few interesting points that I'd like to point out for non-German guests (as I think it's pretty standard in Germany because now I've stayed in 4 hotels here and they are the same): - "double" bed means two single beds put together. Size wise, yes maybe it's a double, but there's a crack in the middle with two small comforters on top, so what's the point if I can only sleep on one single side anyways? If you are thinking of upgrading because of the bed option, say from a single bed to a double, or two singles to one double, don't bother. If you are a couple and prefers to sleep on the same bed, you will be sleeping on different mattresses. - body wash, shampoo, facial wash - all in one. All four hotels I stayed in had similar one bottle of liquid soap for all washings. If you care about this stuff, now you know to bring extra products.
