Sehr gut
Pros:

Ein Top - Hotel , sauber, gute Ausstattung, freundliches Personal / einfach toll zu Wohlfühlen!

Cons:

Das einzige war die Tatsache, das es kein Abendrestaurant im Hotel und in der Umgebung gab ( leider voll und ohne Reservierung kein Platz).

Praktisch en schoon gastvrij hotel dichtbij centrum Ilmenau
Pros:

Modern hotel op locatie dichtbij het centrum

Cons:

Toegang tot internet met QR-code bij receptie.
Enigszins onduidelijke rekening (SAP Concur heeft er moeite mee)
Kamer zou gezelliger kunnen. Het ziet er wat klinisch uit.

Cons:

Kein Hinweis durch Rezeptionistin, dass WiFi nun mit QR Code zu sein hat, was bei mir nicht funktioniert hat. Hilfe wurde aber auch nicht angeboten. Und kann man sich Informationen zu Gastwiederholern irgendwo speichern? Z.B., dass der Gast kein Auto hat.

Pros:

Clean, comfortable, great staff, great location

Cons:

They have real keys, not plastic cards. Like real metal things you have to keep up with.

Tolles und modernes Hotel mit bescheidener Lüftungsanlage
Pros:

Tolles und modernes Hotel, klasse Frühstück, zentrale Lage.

Cons:

Die Lage an der sehr lauten Verkehrsstraße. Sofern die Fenster geschlossen sind, ist das kein Problem. Wer allerdings gerne mit Frischluft und etwas kühler schlafen möchte, ist hier falsch. Die Lüftungsanlage schaft hier keinen angenehmen Ausgleich. Schade.
