Villa Medici

Zimmer nicht 100% sauber, Glastüre vom Badezimmer zum Schlafraum muss man mögen, Frühstücksauswahl überschaubar (kein Käse, kein Schwarztee).

Leider haben wir nicht so gut gegessen. Die Ente war total trocken, kam ohne Soße. Das wurde zwar nachgebessert. Wir hatten uns mehr versprochen, weil wir das Lokal aus der Vergangenheit - 20 Jahre - kannten.

The complete lack of human interaction was not great; I did not see any other human being at the place, which is a bit uncomfortable especially when travelling by yourself.

Schlechte Lüftungsmöglichkeit im Zimmer sowie fehlende Klimaanlage, Straßen- und Bahnlärm im Zimmer deutlich zu hören, so dass wir das Fenster geschlossen halten mussten (die vorbeiführende Strasse wird aktuell als Umleitung für die gesperrte Bundesstraße nach Warendorf genutzt, was wohl zu einer deutlichen Steigerung des Verkehrs führt),
deutlich zu hoher Preis für eine Unterkunft in der Peripherie und ohne Zusatzleistungen

When we arrived the key was on the bar and it took us a while to find the bedroom! It would have helped if they had a bell on the bar to alert the staff that someone had arrived to check in.

The room was very basic and didn’t have enough toiletries or tea bags. Our room was many flights up steep stairs which made it difficult with our cases.

I wasn't able to get the lockbox code through my booking.com reservation. I did receive an email with an online check-in link which didn;t work for my tablet device. My USA cellphone was not working in Germany (but did work in Finland and Netherlands), so I couldn't call the hotel for help. I sent email and Booking.com messages, but nothing seemed to get through. I suggest this hotel have better coordination with Booking.com. Ultimately I depended on the kindness of a stranger to call and get the lockbox code for me. The hotel has excellent high security locks (I was amazed how good they were) but which will be unfamiliar for many American visitors. I recommend visitors be careful not to lock themselves out. To be honest, some of my difficulties on arrival were due to my own ineptitude, and I came to really like the whole concept of the hotel once I understood it.

It's not a hotel, it's just rooms above a restaurant. On the outskirts of the city. No reception (service provided at the restaurant counter). We reported (and showed photos) that the sheets had small holes and the trunk had mud. We were given reason without even being offered a coffee. For all these reasons, we think the price-quality ratio (173 euros) was poor.
