Overall, good stay and was a great location for a conference. My issue was just with the temperature in the room, as the air conditioning didn't work properly and several people were complaining.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The property and the rooms are updated. I found my room a bit small. But it was okay for a short business trip. I didn‘t have breakfast but it looked very good to me. I dined in the restaurant in the hotel. The food was good and the service excellent. The only minor remark I would make is the choice of TV programs - there were hardly any international programs available.

COMFORTABLE and IDEAL LOCATION

The personnel were professional and friendly, especially the employees in the breakfast room. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Fried eggs and waffles are available to order as part of the buffet. Our room was adequate and comfortable for our needs since we only stayed for 4 nights.

Nothing spectacular for a very expensive hotel

This hotel was easy to get to, underground parking is available but pretty pricey. Hotel staff and hotel was okay, nothing extraordinary. This was the most expensive hotel out of the 10 we stayed during our European roadtrip. It was clean enough, bathroom floors could use a better mopping. The hotel is walking distance to the touristy areas but not a nice walk. We walked to town late and night and it didnt feel 100% safe. Didn't try thw breakfast because found it was overpriced. Instead we walked to Extrablatt. It was a buffet breakfast and super cheap.

In a pretty convenient location but nothing around it. 3 minutes walk to the underground with 3 stops to city center. no swimming pool, there is a small gym. hotel room is a bit of a let down. executive room which is more expensive than standard, was just a bigger room, bare and boring with cheap furniture. nothing much in the room to use but you can buy necessity at the small stall by reception opening 24/24.

Elham

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
super clean room, comfy bed, and good location. The bathroom is really really small. I booked a deluxe twin room and paid extra, in the picture of the room it showed a bigger bathroom with double sinks but the room I got was smaller, and a single sink and a tiny shower that I could barely stand in there. The room was clearly for one person and not for two. When I asked why the room was smaller the front desk said that is the correct deluxe room, which is strange because why is a deluxe room smaller than regular rooms? Also, I checked in very late at night because of a flight delay and there was no soap in the room. Breakfast was great, lots of options, and if you ask they can also bring you complete-I only tried it once because the other egg option did not look fresh. It is nice if the staff would check in by coming to your table if you need anything or offer to bring coffee to the table in a pot. There was only one machine to get coffee from and the quality was poor. During peak hours there was plenty of staff around but none offered to bring coffee even they saw a line. I skipped the coffee machine after the first day.

Überbewertet

Für ein 4 Sterne Hotel bin ich enttäuscht. Es ist in die Jahre gekommen. Ich habe das kleinste Zimmer der Etage bekommen, wo der Sessel regelrecht hineingequetscht ist. Die Matratze geht auseinander, und die Vorhänge schließen nicht ab, so dass die Morgensonne einen um 5:30 Uhr weckt. Das TV hat eine verbesserungswürdige Senderverteilung. Während der zwei Tage funktionierte das WLAN auf dem Zimmer nicht. So richtiges Engagement oder Kompensation gab es seitens der Rezeption nicht. Insgesamt sehe ich das Hotel als überbewertet an, andere sind da weiter - und oft günstiger.
