Sürekli resepsiyon görevlisi yoktu. Bazı odalardan gece çok geç saatlerde çok gürültü geldi.

Great lication with "not bad" staying place.
Pros:

This is a midtown across from a tram stop. All you wish is short walking distance from you. I like to experience different cultures; the history of cars and the second biggest, largest, or third palace after French Versailles, Karl Benz first car driven here, first elevator, or left, was presented in a show here the largest chemical company BASF with 30 thousand emotes is close by. I ate at German, Italian, Turkish, Persian, Indian and Middle Eastern places. I walked around small shops and huge malls. People are so friendly and open to interact with foreignera and try there best to speak your language. France is short distance away, two rivers running around you Rhine-Neckar intersection. It gets cold but snow does not stick long, as I've been told. .any areas only 15 to 30 minutes away with great scenery: Heidelburg, Lendenuerg...
I enjoyed it with some youth we played minigolf there too.

Cons:

I was not lucky with mishaps which the management resolved for me. The front desk work from 12 till 6 PM. With a number for emergency, you need to have a German number to contact them. So you better be available at the time they are in the office.
Also, you are in the middle of town so be prepared to heR sirens 🚨 and if there is work scheduled, then prepare for 8 to 5 public area maintenance.

Excelente localização boa para férias perto de tudo super recomendo
Pros:

A recepção é a localização

Cons:

A falta de preocupação dos serviços de quarto não se preocupavam em saber se o quarto está precisando do serviço de limpeza não se preocupavam em saber se faltavam algo principalmente no banheiro

Enttäuschend
Pros:

Lage am Hbf. Personal ok

Cons:

Auf dem Zimmerboden liefen Insekten, obwohl das Zimmer renoviert wirkte. Leider war die Nacht dadurch nicht entspannt.

Pros:

Hohes Niveau ist nicht zu erwarten, aber der Preis war ja auch niedrig. Ein Hotel, das gemacht hat, was es soll. Man hatte ein Bett unterm Rücken, es war sauber, das reicht.

Cons:

Es war schon sehr laut, selbst bei geschlossenem Fenster. Zimmer-Karte funktionierte irgendwann nicht mehr, noch vor dem Checkout.

Pros:

Lage. Preis/Leistung. Ich hatte ein Zimmer, das nicht zur Straße gerichtet war, so war es sehr ruhig. Ich bin zu einer Zeit angekommen, dass jemand bei der Rezeption war und der konnte mir sogleich helfen. Das war gut!

Cons:

Leider war/blieb das Wasser kalt und ich konnte deswegen nicht duschen. Ich musste früh los und hatte keine Möglichkeiten jemandem deswegen Bescheid zu sagen.

Пока под отелем ремонт дороги, не бронируте!
Pros:

Хорошее расположение.

Cons:

Бронировала номер с ребенком. Ночевали одну ночь перед операцией в госпитале. Окна номера выходили сразу на ремонт трамвайных путей. Всю ночь под окном перфоратором разбивали асфальт и срезали болгаркой рельсы. Звукоизоляции 0, окон будто нет вообще. Да, это не вина отела, но зачем селить людей в эти номера над стройкой, если есть другие. Тем более с детьми. Это была пытка, а не ночека. Конечно мы не спали совсем. К тому же в номере было очень холодно, одна батарея не работала. А также в номере стоял затхлый ужасный запах.

Für nur schlafen Ok
Pros:

Der Bahnhof in wenigen Fußminuten entfernt genauso wie der Wasserturm mit der Einkaufsstraße.

Cons:

Die Dusche kannte leider nur 3 Zustände von der Wassertemperatur. Sehr kalt, etwas weniger sehr kalt und wenn man lang genug wartete fühlte es sich Handwarm an.
Der Selbst Check-in erfolgt an einem frei zugänglichen Automaten an der Straße. Da wir bei Dunkelheit ankamen, war es mir schon unangenehm als ich mit meiner Karte dort herumwerken musste. Hinweise zum Check-Out fand ich keine. Habe diese bei der sehr hilfsbereiten Servicekraft erfragen können.

Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Pros:

Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. 2 kleine Wasserflaschen und etwas zum Naschen. So wird man freundlich begrüßt.
Kostenloser Ausdruck meiner Konzertkarte, toller Service.

Cons:

Matratze zu weich. Kopfkissen viel zu weich.
