Great location, easy walk to old town. Very quiet area. Clean and comfy. We had a tripe twin room. One of the beds was low to the ground and squeaked all night. Other than that, everything was great! No fridge in room.

The service is excellent. People at the front desk and the restaurant are very pleasant, helpful and always wear an accommodating smile. The hotel itself is old but very clean. The family room we got is surprisingly big. We did not have any trouble finding a space to open our baggages. The beds and blankets are comfortable. The only downside was the lack of airconditioning unit. While they have it installed, it’s not working while we were there. The room got hot despite having the fans on.

Nice room in a good location - very near train station and a tram stop almost right across street. 24 hour desk staff is nice. A/C only comes on if the temps are above like 74-75 degrees so a little warm for American travelers - but we were able to open the windows, so it worked. I thought the sheets were very scratchy. Breakfast was OK, but more cereals, yogurts and breads. Would stay there again if you just needed a place to rest and shower.

Kettle in room did not work. Man at reception seemed annoyed at being asked for a new one. 2nd one failed too. Room was nicely decorated. Bed was comfy but covers were too short width-wise so one of us froze each night! Coffee at breakfast was lovely. Whole grain rolls were very fresh and delicious. Great location for train station and trams.

The room itself was fine, but a bit of a lower standard than expected for 200 EUR a night. The bathroom ceiling was moldy, which made the stay a bit uncomfortable. As a vegetarian/vegan, the breakfast lacked a variety of choices, and was unhealthy in my opinion. Meanwhile, the personnel were friendly and talkative, but some seemed a bit overworked, especially in the breakfast buffet. An okay stay for two days of business.

The room was adequate and had a bonus balcony. However the area is noisy due to loud music in the night. Road works were also very near the hotel that time. The room was spacious however the location of the beds were not very good as the head part was next to the toilet door. The shower had a low pressure and the sink make a gurgling sound as it flows down. The kettle was a pleasant amenity. The tram was very near and the hotel is very walkable to the main areas of attraction. The staff were very friendly, smiley and accommodating. Breakfast was very good.

ridiculous, falsely advertised room sizes online, location was fine but staff was rude. me and my buddies were hanging out in whatever lobby space was available and were on our phones and some person who was working at the desk at the time was repeatedly yelling "TURN OFF THE LOUD SPEAKER" when it wasnt even loud. additionally, we asked for our room cleaned and nobody came to service it. do not recommend this property under any circumstance, would rather stay in a motel 6. overpriced and underserviced.

Pretty bad state of bathrooms on level 2, with shower not draining at all. Reception was under-staffed in the morning, noting one person with limited experience and poor customer skills, was running around to resolve matters. He was borderline aggressive and used his native German language as an excuse for his abrupt English communication. On a positive note, person at the reception in the evening was very pleasant and helpful in many ways, location is good as walking distance from main station and restaurants. Overall, the property is dated, people with allergies are likely to struggle sleeping at night.
