Great spot and friendly staff.
Pros:

Good location, clean room and really friendly staff.

Cons:

I added breakfast to my stay; it was quite expensive and really disappointing- stale croissants, cold eggs and meh coffee. I also got loads of emails wanting me to register / check in before I arrived, register for a transport pass etc., none of which worked and all of which just added to the stress of my journey.

Schlichtes Hotel
Pros:

Sehr gut gelegen, direkt am Bahnhof. Ein kostenloses Metroticket kann an der Rezeption erworben werden. Metrostation, Supermarkt und Apotheke direkt neben dem Hotel. Freundliche und zuvorkommende Rezeption. 7 Minuten mit der Metro an den See.

Cons:

Sehr schlicht und lieblos eingerichtet für ein 4-Sterne-Hotel, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis wird dabei nicht gut abgebildet
