Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Nur das Parken ist etws umständlich, da das Parkhaus am Hotel voll war, mussten wir auf eins ca 1,2 km weiter weg ausweichen. Personal hervorragend! Nähe zur Bahn super und 2 Lebensmittelläden und McD direkt am Hotel.

The business ruins are interesting. The outlets in some parts are not conveniently placed. The dishes are locked up so i had to call for someone to get to them. The bathroom is adequate, but small. It's cozy, but clean and in an affluent area of the city with easy transport options. There is a small kitchen and plenty of stores where you can get food.

Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältniss. Bus und S-Bahn direkt vor der Tür. Sehr nettes Personal und saubere Zimmer! Kleines minus sind die viel Treppen zum Zimmer trotz Fahrstuhl. Man sieht dem Hotel auf jeden Fall ein gewisses Alter an. Fatzit: für einen Städtetrip zum guten Preis ein gutes Hotel!

It everything you want in a hotel.

We only spend one night. The rooms were clean, the beds were very comfortable, they had water and beers in the fridge for us. The staffs were friendly and professional. It was very quiet so we were able to get much needed rest. It a very beautiful hotel.
