Nice hotel in a good location. Rooms were reasonably quiet, clean and comfortable. Service and breakfast were adequate. Location is about a twenty minute walk to the aldstadt/touristy section of the city, but it's nearby plenty of services and restaurants. They have on-site parking (having a small car helps.)

The hotel is in a perfect part of town where there is plenty to do if you choose to hang around the area and central enough to walk to the more “happening” parts of town.
The staff are great and will assist you and the rooms are equipped with a TV, kettle and strong Wi-Fi

Great staff
Quite small rooms, and not quite the feel of a typical 4 star hotel, however for our stay the location was absolutely perfect, the parking was so convenient and the staff on reception were amazing :) super fun and supportive. Really made the stay. Thank you!

Great location, but be cautious!
Rated 4 star, no Way its a 4 star luxury hotel. Location is 4 star, but hotel is outdated, more likely 2 star. Rooms are smelly, super hot with no aircondition, breakfast is boring and low end, Fresh orange juice is a plus though. Wifi is also like non existed, which is not ideal for business.

The staff were incredibly helpful and supportive to me as I was caught with the DB strike. Lovely breakfast, comfy and clean room, same day laundry service and it was even dropped off to my room. In a great part of town as there are so many eating and shops to explore.

Staff all exceptionally helpful and friendly, without exception. Thank you, especially Sonia.
But WiFi was almost entirely out of order for the duration of my >3 days there, and, in my room, the safe had no batteries so it too was useless, and the bedside reading lamps lacked light bulbs.
Compensation for lack of WiFi was free breakfasts - which was very nice but didn’t overcome the frustration of no WiFi for someone without easy roaming data from home.

Well located hotel within walking distance to good restaurant and shops.
No air-conditioning in the room, need to open window, noisy street and loud fan, made it impossible to get any sleep. Not what I would expect for the price.

Zentrale Lage mit desaströsem Badezimmer
Check in war schnell, Hotel zentral gelegen.
Die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern war einigermaßen ok. Das Bad aber in einem sehr schlechten Zustand.
Beim Check-Out wurde man nicht gefragt ob alles ok war, sonst hätte ich es gerne auch dort bemängelt.
