Good but basic hotel. Rooms quite small and not much storage space. No facility to make a hot drink in the room. Not far from city centre but the area is not great. On a noisy road with Building work and scrubland across the road. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent, although the restaurant was very busy at the weekend. We struggled to find somewhere to sit.

The hotel was easy to find and parking next to hotel. The receptionist claimed that I had to pay for the room, which I denied. As I had a long I decided to pay. In the morning I raised question with receptionist and after she made further inquiries they agreed to refund the payment

Very nice hotel with super friendly staff in general. Breakfast is really good, but also has an extra charge of 15 EUR. Lobby area very clean and nicely decorated. Open space. Great place to chill and have a beer. Rooms a bit tiny, storage spsce in the corner has no extra light. Thus, it's hard too see anything in the evening. No desk in rooms. Overall, would definitely stay here again.

Wir haben zufällig Messetage erwischt und mussten den 4-en Zimmerpreis zahlen. Da waren die etwa 20 € fürs Frühstück pro Person irrelevant – insgesamt war der Preis trotzdem nicht angemessen für das Angebot.

Das Frühstück war sehr abwechslungsreich gut und auch schön angerichtet. Leider hat ständig etwas gefehlt und man musste immer wieder aufstehen um nachzusehen ob etwas nachgefüllt wurde. Das Personal war sehr bemüht ist aber nicht rum gekommen. Es war auch nicht genügend Besteck vorhanden. Man musste sich Messer, Gabeln, Löffel usw. an vielen Tischen zusammensuchen und immer wieder beim Personal nachfragen. Bis auf dem ChaosAufenthalt bei Ihnen wirklich schön
