Its right next to the train station, and its very convenient. However, the room is very small, especially the bathroom. Also, the AC is weak and not cool enough during summer. Location is very good, as its close to several car rental companies.

Close to Gare

The restaurant in the hotel is again a restaurant rather than a burger joint, which is a Good Thing as the Asian restaurant in the gare has closed down. We avoid going out and about in the streets around the gare in the evening so a decent restaurant in the hotel is welcome.

Convenient, clean, comfortable

Nice stay at very conveniently placed hotel next to main rail station. However, our room had almost no electrical outlets, and no coffee machine. Not dealbreakers, of course, but in a competitive market for hotel accommodation, Ibis should be providing these things. Also, everything is a "pay for" extra, it seems... baggage storage, for example. Ouch.

The room was not nice and the table next to the bed was broken. Also charged €15 two times and though I messaged the hotel, I never heard back. The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 star is because the staff were very nice.

Das Hotel hat sich in den Zimmern runter gelebt. Sehr!!! klein. Das einzige gute war die Entfernung zum Bahnhof. Bei Ankunft keine Handtücher im Zimmer, musste selber abgeholt werden. Dusche fängt an sich in seine Einzelteile zu zerlegen. Zum Glück nur eine Nacht in diesem Hotel. Dafür ging es gerade noch, aber sonst grenzwertig.
