Cons:

I booked a room with city view, but was sent to a room with no windows. The hotel only corrected the problem 1 day later, and literally ignore my refund request for the night, did not reply me.

Neighbour room occupants threw a party at 4:30am with loud music and lot of people. The hotel did not intervened, the music stopped around 7:00 am.

I had to keep my shoes indoor because the ground was a bit dirty and sticky.

Pros:

Einfacher Check-in
Freundliche Mitarbeiter

Cons:

Unterm Dach ggf. sehr warm
Im Eingangsbereich riecht es etwas nach Rauch. Im Zimmer war alles in Ordnung
Matratzen könnten etwas bequemer sein, sind aber ausreichend zum Schlafen

Good location. Unclear checkin, and poor instructions on how to find our room
Cons:

The room had not been cleaned by the time we arrived after 19:00. Fortunately we met the cleaners outside, and they cleaned the room. But we had to wait 25 minutes.

Pros:

Großes Zimmer und die Lage war gut.

Cons:

Rezeption nur telefonisch mit einem einzigen Telefon. Kein Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Erschwert vieles. Check-in dauerte über 30 Minuten.
Lüftungsanlage direkt auf dem Vordach vor dem Fenster. Es war sehr laut. Betten waren sehr hart. Türen klemmten usw. Für den Preis (wenn auch günstig) deutlich zu wenig.

Don’t go here, you are better off in a hostel I swear
Pros:

Private parking, which we needed to pay for

Cons:

The accommodation was basically a basement, anybody could have climbed in through the window (someone tried to in the morning anyway), so safety wise it was a nightmare. The cleanliness was the other issue, when we entered, the room had a musty mold smell… and the floor was sticky. In the shower if you stood on the toilet, you could have showered, but without any soap ( the dispenser was empty)
No live reception available, although you had to pick their landline (which was so dirty) up and called someone who guided us to our room over the phone. The guy was a rude individual and his guidance was basically for us to check the map on the wall, and even the line was creaking which obviously not a good solution if it is the only option to get ahold of them.
They advertise this place by the free wifi and private parking, but you have to pay for the latter and no wifi code provided in the rooms
