Avoid if you wake up past 7 am: I couldnt sleep
Pros:

Proximity to Hbf and the city center. Big, spacious room. The light through the window can be fully blocked by the roller shutter (outside horizontal metal screen). Even if the window is closed, the fresh air is supplied through an easy-to-operate device. Daily cleaning (floors, WC). Breakfast is included and covers up most of the needs.

Cons:

I could not sleep well at this property. Room has poor sound isolation — the noises on the floor and out of the window were constantly keeping me up. When a guest on the same room was leaving their room for the breakfast at 07:00, it was waking me up every time. Then the cleaning lady was starting her duty at 08:30 and was not shy away from making lots of noise. Why cleaning so early? Many people still sleep at this time. Besides, the rooms should be freed only by 11:00 and I doubt they get re-cleaned. One morning I was woken up by the garbage collecting machine at 06:20 that spent 20 mins near my window. Surprisingly, the trains were never an issue:
Rather hard mattress, only one pillow.
While fully sitting at the desk, legs are really squeezed between the chair and the desk.
The place feels like an old big communal apartment turned into a hotel — no proper lobby, the receptionist sits in the same room where the breakfast was served. The receptionist's working space is cluttered (desk and behind it) and gives an unkempt impression.
Breakfast (07:00-09:00) is fairly basic and doesn't have enough stock to accommodate all guests - you only get scarce leftovers by 9 o'clock. You have to ask the personnel to serve you coffee/tea instead of serving it on your own. This is the only thing you need to ask for during the breakfast and this policy is not explained preliminary — I was met with a startled cry of the receptionist when I tried to use the coffee machine on my own.

Eher ein Hotel für Arbeiter, das aber nicht zu dem Preis der verlangt wird passt.
Cons:

Sehr hellhörige Zimmer, kein Lift, kein Parkplatz wie eigentlich beschrieben.
