I will return to this good hotel room, nicely located
Pros:

Great location on Helvetiaplatz, with several good restaurants nearby and its walking distance to Europaallee. Room was clean, comfortable, and nicely styled, if a bit functional.

Cons:

I didn’t have to use the self check-in machine but it sounded complicated. I came through the restaurant and the nice staff there checked me in.

Oke voor 1 nacht.
Pros:

Locatie was goed.

Cons:

Heel gehorig!! Het stonk naar het restaurant van beneden. De douche had een heel dun straaltje water. De ingang bevindt zich in een niet zo’n prettige steeg.
