Highly recommended
Superb hotel, if a little away from the main centre of town. Peace and quiet and large rooms. Only negative was an alarm went off for the room next to me, but this was soon fixed. Staff on duty 24 hours.

Good but basic hotel. Rooms quite small and not much storage space. No facility to make a hot drink in the room. Not far from city centre but the area is not great. On a noisy road with Building work and scrubland across the road. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent, although the restaurant was very busy at the weekend. We struggled to find somewhere to sit.

The hotel was easy to find and parking next to hotel. The receptionist claimed that I had to pay for the room, which I denied. As I had a long I decided to pay. In the morning I raised question with receptionist and after she made further inquiries they agreed to refund the payment

Decent hotel, nice room but aircon not up to the job to keep room cool. Bathroom looked nice but shower head wouldn’t maintain a position when in use.

Very nice hotel with super friendly staff in general. Breakfast is really good, but also has an extra charge of 15 EUR. Lobby area very clean and nicely decorated. Open space. Great place to chill and have a beer.
Rooms a bit tiny, storage spsce in the corner has no extra light. Thus, it's hard too see anything in the evening.
No desk in rooms.
Overall, would definitely stay here again.

Das Zimmer hat vermutlich aufgrund des Teppichs im Zimmer sehr unangenehm gerochen. Ein schwarzer Stuhl im Zimmer war total verstaubt- an der Sauberkeit könnte also noch gearbeitet werden. Es fehlt ein Spiegel mit Vergrößerung im Bad. Das Bad ist neu und die Dusche ist super. Der Empfang war nicht besonders herzlich, aber schnell. Im Großen und Ganzen finde ich das Hotel sonst ganz okay. Das Frühstück war auch absolut in Ordnung.
