The hotel is in a perfect part of town where there is plenty to do if you choose to hang around the area and central enough to walk to the more “happening” parts of town. The staff are great and will assist you and the rooms are equipped with a TV, kettle and strong Wi-Fi

Nice hotel in a good location. Rooms were reasonably quiet, clean and comfortable. Service and breakfast were adequate. Location is about a twenty minute walk to the aldstadt/touristy section of the city, but it's nearby plenty of services and restaurants. They have on-site parking (having a small car helps.)

Quite small rooms, and not quite the feel of a typical 4 star hotel, however for our stay the location was absolutely perfect, the parking was so convenient and the staff on reception were amazing :) super fun and supportive. Really made the stay. Thank you!

The staff were incredibly helpful and supportive to me as I was caught with the DB strike. Lovely breakfast, comfy and clean room, same day laundry service and it was even dropped off to my room. In a great part of town as there are so many eating and shops to explore.

Well located hotel within walking distance to good restaurant and shops. No air-conditioning in the room, need to open window, noisy street and loud fan, made it impossible to get any sleep. Not what I would expect for the price.

Disliked: Cleanliness
If you need a place to crash for a night this will do. I wouldnt bring a family here for vacation. Stay was, frankly, not great. Staff not brimming with enthusiasm or desire to help but i guess not explicitly rude save for a few eye rolls when asked for assistance. Hotel advertises parking but their lot was full and i had to park elsewhere at a much higher cost. If spaces are limited to a literal handful, it would be prudent to disclose that visitors may need to make alternate arrangements. Biggest issue was clenliness; had 2 rooms and both rooms were not clean. Hair on the bed, absolutely filthy carpet, one of the rooms had a very strong unpleasant odor, incredible amount of mold in the bathrooms. Bathrooms in varying degrees of disrepair, including leaking faucets that dripped onto the floor, showerheads that sprayed water just about everywhere, broken drain covers, etc., etc. Safe also did not work. On the plus side, pretty good location with lots of options for food and shopping.

Location is excelent but It is not a 4 star hotel. It is a 2,5 or 3 star at most. Rooms and reception desk are basic, I got a smaller a room than the one I paid, and when I asked to the Manager he was facing back in the office, and didn’t even turn back to reply, he said we must be thankful because we got a good room, and we could submit any complaints through Expedia….
