Kurztrip nach Berlin
Pros:

Für ein Kurztrip nach Berlin vollkommend ausreichend, das Zimmer war sauber, allerdings etwas verwohnt, die Wände sowie die Gardinen hätten mal eine Auffrischung gebraucht, Das Frühstück vielfältig, frisch und ausreichend.

Pros:

Positiv hervorzuheben sind die bequemen Betten, die saubere Bettwäsche und die frischen Handtücher. Außerdem hatten wir einen schönen Ausblick aus dem Fenster, und die Schallisolierung der Zimmer war sehr gut.

Cons:

Leider entsprach unser Aufenthalt nicht unseren Erwartungen.

Bei unserer Ankunft war das Badezimmer nicht gründlich gereinigt, was keinen guten ersten Eindruck hinterließ.

Außerdem fehlten wichtige Annehmlichkeiten, die in einem Hotel dieser Kategorie selbstverständlich sein sollten, darunter Wattestäbchen, Wattepads, Hausschuhe und Bademäntel.

Auch das Frühstück war eine Enttäuschung. Es bestand fast ausschließlich aus Tiefkühlprodukten und bot kaum frische oder hochwertige Speisen.

Das Abendessen im Restaurant war ebenfalls enttäuschend. Als warme Speise wurde lediglich Tiefkühlpizza angeboten.

Im Zimmer gab es zudem keine Möglichkeit, Kaffee zuzubereiten, was den Komfort zusätzlich beeinträchtigte.

Erschwerend kam hinzu, dass sich das Personal nur unzureichend auf Deutsch verständigen konnte, was die Kommunikation unnötig erschwerte.

Insgesamt stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis aus unserer Sicht nicht. Wir hätten bei diesem Standard deutlich mehr erwartet.
