    Pros +

    • Location was excellent. Room was good size. The caretaker was amazing.
    • The room was generally clean and large, close to Luisenplatz, and basic but good breakfast. I had better experience than the average rating.
    • Horrible. Actually left and booked a different hotel after seeing it. Didn’t stay. Sketchy.

    Cons -

    • I was frustrated that the elevator was not available for my check-in. I struggled up two flights of stairs with my luggage. I later found the elevator to be fully functional, and started using it on my own.The breakfast was meh. Cold meats, hard cooked eggs, average bread.
    • Window opened to fire escape connecting all other rooms. 100% not safe. Smelled like pot. No staff on site.
    • Bedbugs. Be careful. When we came to our room at night we recognized a dead bedbug on the bedsheet. When we got up and checked the pillows and mattress we found several alive crawling over the bed. So we spontaneously had to find another hotel for the night. Hotel Ludwig offered us a refund, which is the very least one can expect. Never again.

    Check-in is possible at any time because keys are available in a safe with a code. Location in the city center is great. Rooms were quiet.

    Hotel is a bit run down and would benefit from some renovation.

    9JackPosted on: 11-14-2024

    In the centre with air coach bus to the airport. Quiet comfortable rooms with shops all around the hotel. No problem in fully recommending this hotel. Had early morning flight so cannot comment on breakfast.

    Nothing, the elevator was defect, the sit of the WC was spoiled had the beds wasn’t comfortable at all, Tv connect wasn’t good

    7HashimPosted on: 11-21-2021

    The room was spacious with a big bed enough for two people. It was really warm inside the room and the location is just great. The breakfast was really good as well.

    I think they need to put bathroom slippers as well as one or two bottles of water in the room. The TV cable is not working as well.

    The location was perfect

    A bit too pricy for what they offer , I paid 89 euros the night, but could be fair enough 50 or 45 euros
