Pros:

The service was excellent, the food also!

Cons:

The room was uncomfortably hot, as was the entire hotel. It wasn't enjoyable. And the chlorine levels in the pool were almost unbearable. We wanted to enjoy it but it was so strong that our eyes were stinging.
A shame because otherwise we enjoyed our stay

Disappointing 😞
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Lack of soundproofing, you can hear everything from adjacent rooms - when we spoke to staff around 7pm they said they would deal with it, then again at 2am, they said nothing they could do about it. Shower alternates between freezing and boiling every minute. No details were given on arrival, and we were not asked anything about our stay on checkout

!
Pros:

Location for city centre and ease of car parking ..
And good reception staff .

Cons:

No anti slip Matt in the shower or glasses in the room.
No instant coffee just coffee pods which isn't everyone's preference . Cleaning staff knocking on door around 9.30 am . Also and I'm not being racist in any way but some cleaning staff struggle to make themselves understood when speaking .

Ganz nett für eine Nacht
Pros:

Ganz schönes Hotel

Cons:

Der ausgewiesene Kids Pool war nicht wirklich kindertauglich, das Wasser war auch sehr kalt und unsere Kleine durfte nicht in den Whirlpool. Ihr hätte mal ihr Gesicht sehen dürfen als nach 10 Minuten der Ausflug ins Schwimmbad vorbei war. Dass kostenpflichtige Badekappen vorwiegend von Frauen getragen werden müssen, fanden wir auch doof. Vielleicht weil die Föns im Zimmer ewig brauchen?

Hotel I will recommend and will be going back to for other business trips
Pros:

Pleasant stay for business, very nice leisure centre , steam room and pool. Lunch and evening meal was very good and staff were very attentive.

Cons:

Disturbance during the night from other hotel residents arguing, called reception and they sent security staff to the room. Found it difficult to get a good sleep as a result of this.
