It is a great location, with easy access to the city center. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, with an excellent breakfast, and good bar. The only problem was that it was very hot, and there was no air conditioning in the rooms.

The gentleman on reception was fantastic! The restaurant was not so fantastic. The choice for gluten free was no choice at all. The waitress tried though. The place is rather old fashioned and I am puzzled as to how it received an 'excellent' rating o Hotels.com

Pleasant business stay.

A pleasant experience overall. The public areas were very outdated, the bedrooms a little less so but an overall facelift for this property would result in higher scores across the board. The daytime staff were all pleasant as was the night porter but he had no English at all.

Not Recommended - Overrated

Bit distorting infor- very long walk from the main station. No Air conditioning or fan in the room. They do load the fridge with cold drinks hoping for guests to drink heaps in the humid weather. I had an uncomfortable sleep. Bed made creaking noise every time I moved. Staff were good though. 70€ for a single room was a waste of money. I moved to a 4 bed hostel the next day, paid 21€ and had a good sleep.

We loved this hotel. It is beautiful and clean. I am not sure what the mattresses are, but they are truly the most comfortable I have ever slept on; I wanted to take the mattress with me. The room we had was gorgeous. The staff was incredibly gracious, and luckily, we worked with Ulla much of the time: she could not have been more helpful. The breakfast buffet was the best we experienced in Germany - the variety was amazing. The servers were so cheerful. We ate dinner there twice. The first night was excellent, but on the second, I believe we were served leftovers. That would be my only complaint for an otherwise perfect experience.

Highly recommend this hotel! Large room, quiet, modern, good facilities, good beds, impressive lobby, professional staff. A small minus (just to come up with something) was a pedestrian crossing over a busy intersection where you often had to wait a while for a green light on the way to the city center that beginns 200 meters from the hotel.
