Erg fijn met kleine tips!
Pros:

Mooie, ruime kamers, fijne sfeer, heerlijk ontbijt, aardig en behulpzaam personeel, mooie locatie.

Cons:

Ik had 's ochtends geen koffiemelk. Tip: check de kamers goed. Daarnaast vond ik de verlichting slecht op de kamer. Erg donker, terwijl er overal stopcontacten zijn. Zet bijvoorbeeld een lampje neer naast het espresso-apparaat.

Zentrale Lage, aber überteuerte Parkplätze, Abrechnungschaos und wenig hilfsbereites Personal.
Pros:

Frühstück wird zu spät angeboten

Cons:

Absolutes Abrechnungschaos. Das Zimmer war bereits im Voraus bezahlt, wurde vor Ort jedoch nochmals zu einem höheren Preis abgerechnet. Im Nachhinein wurde zusätzlich die City Tax abgebucht. Die Rechnungen waren vertauscht und auf meine Reklamations‑E-Mail wurde nicht reagiert.
Vor Ort steht zwar Personal zur Verfügung, dieses ist jedoch nicht hilfsbereit: Der Check-in sollte eigenständig am iPad durchgeführt werden, obwohl Mitarbeitende direkt danebenstanden. Insgesamt sehr unprofessionell und enttäuschend.

Ideal for a short stay in the centre
Pros:

Extremely central location and great food downstairs in the cafe

Cons:

The rooms are subpar, the layout isn’t particularly sensible, and it’s under-equipped with no slippers, water, or hanging spaces in the powder room, for instance. The television was rather flimsy, and the shower had a slight leak. No door/partition for the shower cell either. The elevator in the building can’t be trusted.

Top Lage, nettes Personal im Café, aber absolut miserabler Zimmerservice
Pros:

Die Lage war genial!
Die Bedienungen im Café beim Frühstück waren sehr nett!

Cons:

Das Zimmer war bereits bei der Ankunft nicht sauber. Flecken an den Türen, dreckiger Kühlschrank und die Cafémaschine war ebenfalls nicht sauber und das gesamte Zimmer war stark verstaubt (das haben wir direkt am Tag der Ankunft gemeldet - das Problem wurde allerdings nicht behoben).

Am 1. Tag wurde dann leider keine Reinigung durchgeführt und am 2. Tag war zwar jemand im
Zimmer, aber es wurde lediglich das Bett gemacht und die Klopapierrollen wurden erneuert.

Das Frühstück war zwar lecker, allerdings hätten wir uns ein bisschen Abwechslung gewünscht (es gab an allen 4 Tagen exakt das gleiche). Auch waren die Portionen sehr überschaubar.

Misleading services, poor hygiene, and unprofessional conduct - Not worth the price, dont be scammed
Pros:

The hotel is in prime location for tourists.

Cons:

We stayed at this property for two nights (Room 1), paying approximately €600 including breakfast. Unfortunately, the experience fell significantly short of expectations and of what was advertised.

1. Misleading Amenities & Non-Operational Restaurant
The hotel advertises restaurant and food services for guests; however, in reality, these were either unavailable or selectively provided. There was no proper in-house dining available, and even basic services such as coffee were unavailable after 6 PM. This is highly misleading for a property positioned at this price point.

2. Discriminatory and Disorganized Breakfast Service
Breakfast service was extremely poorly managed. We arrived at 09:40 and placed our order, only to be informed after 30 minutes that key items (e.g., croissants) were unavailable. We then waited an additional 20 minutes while observing guests who arrived later being served promptly — including items we were explicitly told were out of stock.

After nearly an hour, the food arrived in unacceptable condition:

- Stale, reheated scrambled eggs topped with leftover salmon
- A single slice of bread cut in half presented as toast
- “Fruit and granola” consisting only of diced grapes with hard granola

We were traveling with a two-year-old, and even a simple request for a fruit bowl with yogurt (they didnt have even a banana for the baby) was misunderstood and poorly executed. This reflects a concerning lack of basic hospitality awareness.

When questioned, staff informed us that other guests were receiving better items because of a “special Easter breakfast.” This was never communicated during booking, check-in, or ordering. The implication that hotel guests were secondary to external restaurant customers — unless paying extra — is both inappropriate and unacceptable.

3. Staff Conduct & Service Standards
Staff responses were dismissive and unhelpful. Basic communication was lacking, and there was no proactive effort to resolve issues.

Super Lage, tolles Personal, mittelmäßiges Zimmer
Pros:

Top Lage sehr zentral.
Sehr nettes Personal.
Gutes Frühstück.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein sehr großes, hohes Zimmer, dass leider komplett in schwarz und dunkelgrün gehalten war. Das Zimmer wirkte dadurch sehr dunkel. Das Zimmer war sehr stylisch eingerichtet, wirkte aber abgenutzt. Das Zimmer war gut gereinigt, allerdings sind die genutzten Materialien für ein Hotelzimmer ungeeignet und dadurch teilweise fleckig (Schreibtisch, Schrank, Badezimmer). Das Doppelbett hatte zwei unterschiedliche Matratzen, so dass man auf unterschiedlichen Höhen lagen.
Die zentrale Lage ist für alle Spaziergänge und Fahrradtouren optimal. Die Anreise mit dem Auto und das Parken des Autos ist sehr unkomfortabel, da man nur am Stadtrand parken kann. Die Fahrtkosten in den öffentlichen Parkhäusern liegen bei 40 €/Tag. Unsere Fahrräder konnten wir in einer öffentlichen Fahrrad Parkgarage kostenlos unterstellen. Die Fahrrad Garage ist circa 5 Minuten vom Hotel entfernt.
