Pros +
- clean, comfortable and very accessible
- Poor
- Virtually all the staff were fabulous, really helpful and charming, a real credit to their profession. We had food and drink on three occasions. . However, the evening meals are much better value than the breakfast (see below) and I can personally recommend the smoked salmon, rostis and salad. All in all, I would stay there again
Cons -
- -
- The overall standard was very basic. For example, the quality of food served in the restaurant was quite poor, the in-room coffee was just Nescafé instant, and many staff members were unable to communicate in English. Given these shortcomings, it’s misleading for this property to be rated as a four-star hotel.
- The breakfast is way expensive at 18 Euros for what it offers, I think a fairer price would be 12 euros. Also, due to a booking error on my part (through Booking.com) I was given a surcharge at the end of my stay. I would have much preferred to have been told this at the beginning of the stay and then I could have contacted Booking.com about it.

All over very clean , modern and comfortable hotel .
The room was a very good size and well set out as a disabled friendly room. Coffee facilities, which is not always in German hotels. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Parking was expensive and a distance from the entrance.
Affordable, clean, great location
The room was great, very well presented and good facilities. The hotel was modern and elegant. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. They allowed me to have a parcel delivered there ready for me to pick up upon arrival, they allowed us to leave our bags after check out so we didn't have to carry them around the city all day until our flight home. We would definitely stay here again.
Extremely comfortable bed! Also the hotel staff were very nice, courteous and helpful. I was headed to a concert and they gave me my key early (before check in time), and held my bags until I came back late that night. The room itself was absolutely lovely. My only regret is that I didn't get to stay here longer.
Nothing to speak of, would love to stay here again.

The rooms are spacious, functional and clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly. also the premises around the hotel are nice and green.Breakfast is OK.
The bar/restaurant area downstairs looks more like a canteen and is not very warm/hospitable. Some low seats would also be nice rather than just tables and chairs.

It was clean. The staff were friendly. The beds and pillows were comfy. Breakfast rolls were delicious.
The coffee at breakfast was awful. Only instant coffee in the room. The towels were weird colours and too small. Showers didn’t get warm enough
