The room and the property are very good. The room is comfortable and clean. The bathroom is modern and has a nice shower. Wifi is consistent with high bandwidth. There is a restaurant and bar next to the lobby. Food quality and service are hnhoffa. The hotel is directly across from the subway and just a few stops away from the Hauptbahnhoff.

One-night business stay
Distinguishing between the rooms and the hotel as such seem to be approriate. Rooms gave a brand new impression: stylish but cosy combined with functional elements. The hotel as such is clean but lacking atmosphere. Staff at the bar was below standard of a 4* hotel.

It’s a good Novotel with quite nice rooms, although the gym and sauna are quite poor/dated and the staff could be a bit more attentive. Overall nothing to complain about but also nothing to praise

Acoustics is terrible 😔 .
You can hear any step someone is taking from the above or from side rooms .
Rooms cannot be heated which is something you should not expect from such hotel.
Bottom line I had a rough night and will not choose it again with comperable other options
