Pros:

Nest, very clean, hotel with exceptionally helpful staff. Rooms are European small by NA standards but otherwise very acceptable. Breakfast buffet is excellent (but having herring would have been nice). The food is good but there are No Keto choices on the restaurant menu. Don't miss the Monday night jazz session.

War ok.
Pros:

Zentrale Lage. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet.

Cons:

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis hat nicht gepasst. Gym war zwar modern aber extrem klein. Keine Parkplätze vorhanden die bezahlbar waren. Der Anfrage für getrennte Betten wurde trotz Bestätigung nicht nachgekommen.

Average, and would not stay again due to staff's inconsistency.
Pros:

The location was perfect, and the hotel itself was nice. It was very modern, great amenities, and outstanding restaurants right downstairs.

Cons:

The staff wasn't very helpful. When I booked the reservation on Booking, I was told via email that the hotel could accommodate early checkin as we arrived at 7 am. The woman who checked us in told us this was not the case. We were exhausted as we had been traveling for almost 24 hours. Our only option was to upgrade to another room and pay extra. Frustrating. I understand the hotel wasn't the one who sent us the email saying we could checkin early, but they were not sympathetic at all and borderline rude. We were told there was breakfast included with our upgrade, and we could take advantage of that for the rest of the trip. However, that was not the case either. We dealt with another rude staff member who said we were misinformed. As we left to go find breakfast elsewhere, another staff member approached us and gave us vouchers we would use in the bakery, which I appreciated. We were also told that rooms are not cleaned every day unless requested, and would be cleaned every 3rd day. Ours was not cleaned at all until our last day.

spacious, luxurious, relaxing
Pros:

The hotel was a comfortable distance from the active areas. Room was clean and spacious. There we a good selection of restaurants nearby as well.

Cons:

The room always seemed to be hot. Especially in the bathroom area. Even after i turned off the room heater it felt like there was heat coming from below.
