Comfortable but very small single room

A well located hotel just a 10 minute walk from the main train station. My single room was very small but comfortable despite a slightly noisy air conditioning system. Reception staff were very friendly. Good breakfast.

Verified traveller

Fine, entirely avoidable negative first impression

Fine overall. Good breakfast. Rubbish first impression to get in the room and there’s bottle of water right next to the bed… and a price tag on it. Best check they’re not going to charge me for shower water or provision of clean air.

Ziemlich zentral in der Innenstadt. Trotzdem sehr ruhig. Personal sehr freundlich. Frühstück mit Besonderheiten bestückt. Sehr lecker. Schöne wäre halt, dass es mindestens eine Kaffeespezialität kostenlos zum Frühstück gäbe. Einzelzimmer zweckmäßig eingerichtet, Badezimmer für sich alleine groß genug.

Die Zimmer sind sauber und ordentlich.Matratzen sehr hart. Muss man mögen.Frühstück war wirklich super und das Personal ist sehr bemüht. Man ist in kürze in der Altstadt. Für uns ein super Aufenthalt. Wir hatten leider ein Zimmer wo es sehr laut von außerhalb war. Aber das war einfach Pech. Für den Preis gab es nichts zu meckern. Vielen Dank für den Aufenthalt.
