Across reviews, Hotel Work Life Residence am Bahnhof earns praise for its friendly, helpful staff and convenient location near the train station, while feedback notes spacious but basic rooms, mixed cleanliness, street noise, and paid, limited parking.
Breakfast is broadly well reviewed, though a few guests mentioned a small dining room or limited selection. Multiple reviews describe digital self check in and code based entry, with some privacy concerns and occasional access or verification problems. Overall, expect a practical base suited to short stays.

We booked this room last minute, driving through the area. We checked in right before the front desk closed-there is no available free parking on site (in the parking ramp attached to the hotel, we were told we could pay $250 for the night, that is not a typo, $250 for parking for less than 12 hours,) and we had to park several blocks away. This appears to be a few select rooms in an apartment building. We got 2 rooms on 2 separate floors, right near the elevator. There were 2 beds in each room, one of the beds being a cot, which squeaked every time the person sleeping moved. One of our pillows was filthy with what appeared to be makeup. Unfortunately, by the time we realized it, the front desk was closed. The rooms were very warm-the windows were huge, and the street was very noisy all night long-we also didn't feel safe having them open for how big they were. There were also metal shades outside of the window that you could close, which felt weird. We were a few blocks from some restaurants. This room was very overpriced for what you got-both for the space and the cleanliness of the property. We would not stay here again or recommend this property at all as our experience was very disappointing.

Perhaps most important: the room description is inaccurate. It says there is a hob/stove in the room and there is not. Nor is there a fridge. The room was large, which was nice, but only one chair for a two-person room and only one hanger in the closet. No hooks for coats. They use perfumed detergent or dryer sheets so all linens have a strong smell. Since I'm not used to this it made it difficult for me to fall asleep. There is extensive construction going on courtyard side, and as of Jan. 2026 they were only working on the basement; there was a fair amount of noise during work hours (about 7:00-17:00).

Very nice location. Staff were all very friendly and I like the breakfast. However, the bed is probably the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept on and I felt like things were biting me. Sure enough, I Woke up with bites all down my legs. It’s very bad. If the room had not caused me to be bitten up so badly I would have rated this a 4/5. But the bites make it a hard pass until the bed situation is resolved.

Zu Fuß vom Bahnhof super zu erreichen. Ich hatte ein großzügiges Zimmer. Alles ohne Schnickschnack. Den sauberen Wasserkocher habe ich als Tee-Trinker sehr geschätzt. Beim Frühstück gab es alles, aber in kleiner Auswahl. (Z.B. Eier nur gekocht, Joghurt aber keinen Quark) Für mich war das aber völlig ausreichend. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Helpful friendly staff. Automatic check in service easy, but does not allow for any privacy when others are waiting behind you, which is not ideal when travelling alone as all details, including room number and all personal details are visible to those behind you. Room facilities simple, but sufficient for my trip.

De klantvriendelijkheid van de baliemedewerkster compenseerde dit weer wel Terwijl de uitchecktijd uiterlijk 11.00 is, klopte 9.45 de schoonmaakster aan. Er zijn geen labels ‘niet storen / schoonmaak kan’) voorhanden om dit te voorkomen

Gaining access was a nitemare. Electronic access has its challenges. We recd no call or email giving instructions and had to call. The operator was exceptional and patiently and humorously walked us thru … providing us with 2 codes, 1 being a backup code which was the one that eventually got us into the bldg and suite. A 40 minute process! The suite was most comfortable and had cooking / kitchen features we didn’t require . HOWEVER THERE WASNT ANYWHERE TO HANG CLOTHES … cuz the closet had an armoire filled with pillows and comforters but no railing or hangers or hooks to hang clothes. In the shower there weren’t any ledges to put the beautiful bottles that were kept on the floor. Attn to details and decor missed a couple of practical basic amenities. Great location with easy access to all touristic features .

Perhaps most important: the room description is inaccurate. It says there is a hob/stove in the room and there is not. Nor is there a fridge. The room was large, which was nice, but only one chair for a two-person room and only one hanger in the closet. No hooks for coats. They use perfumed detergent or dryer sheets so all linens have a strong smell. Since I'm not used to this it made it difficult for me to fall asleep. There is extensive construction going on courtyard side, and as of Jan. 2026 they were only working on the basement; there was a fair amount of noise during work hours (about 7:00-17:00).

Zu Fuß vom Bahnhof super zu erreichen. Ich hatte ein großzügiges Zimmer. Alles ohne Schnickschnack. Den sauberen Wasserkocher habe ich als Tee-Trinker sehr geschätzt. Beim Frühstück gab es alles, aber in kleiner Auswahl. (Z.B. Eier nur gekocht, Joghurt aber keinen Quark) Für mich war das aber völlig ausreichend. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Das Frühstück war eher wie in einer Jugendherberge, die Zimmer sehr klein, keine Kaffeemaschine oder Wasserkocher wie beschrieben vorhanden. Der Service war nicht so freundlich, alles in allem praktikabel aber Preis-Leistung nciht gut und kein Komfort in der Unterkunft.

Very nice location. Staff were all very friendly and I like the breakfast. However, the bed is probably the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept on and I felt like things were biting me. Sure enough, I Woke up with bites all down my legs. It’s very bad. If the room had not caused me to be bitten up so badly I would have rated this a 4/5. But the bites make it a hard pass until the bed situation is resolved.

Perhaps most important: the room description is inaccurate. It says there is a hob/stove in the room and there is not. Nor is there a fridge. The room was large, which was nice, but only one chair for a two-person room and only one hanger in the closet. No hooks for coats. They use perfumed detergent or dryer sheets so all linens have a strong smell. Since I'm not used to this it made it difficult for me to fall asleep. There is extensive construction going on courtyard side, and as of Jan. 2026 they were only working on the basement; there was a fair amount of noise during work hours (about 7:00-17:00).
