Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally praised as clean with multiple mentions of hygiene and tidy rooms; minor issues were maintenance-related (shower curtain directing water) rather than overall cleanliness problems.
Service
8.4
Staff repeatedly described as welcoming, polite and helpful (reception, check-in, luggage storage); isolated service lapses reported (slow bar service, bedroom staff reminders, intermittent handling of internet requests).
Location
8.4
Many reviewers note a central, convenient location close to the city and park; drawback for some guests is limited on-site parking and the hotel being on a traffic island.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms described as spacious, quiet and with very comfortable beds for most guests; a few comments about firm mattresses for personal preference and some 'tired' bathrooms or shower curtain/fit issues.
Amenities
7.2
Hotel offers breakfast and on-site food/drink options, but guests reported intermittent internet, no nearby parking, occasional restaurant closure, and small missing items (toilet brush, soap dispenser issues).
Value for Money
7.8
Mixed sentiment: some guests felt pricing was a little dear while others noted good price-performance and reasonable on-site prices (especially for certain use cases like cruisers).
Food and Beverage
8.1
Breakfast frequently called exceptional and dinner generally praised; isolated negatives include menu not suiting some guests and a closure on one evening.
Overall Experience
8.1
Overall very positive impressions with many stating they'd return and describing the hotel as first-class; small recurring issues (parking, occasional service/maintenance slips) tempered some stays.

"Noise" at 11pm
Pros:

The place was clean and staff were polite and friendly

Cons:

Recieved a noise complaint at 11pm while getting ready to sleep. Tv was next to a conjoined room with a child that had a complaint and it was unnecessarily booked considering the property were aware we were here for leisure and a birthday

tolles zentrales Hotel mit sehr nettem und hilfsbereitem Personal
Pros:

Das Boxspringbett ist sehr hoch, die Matratze war für mich pers. etwas zu hart aber das ist ja jedermanns unterschiedliches empfinden. Das Zimmer lag im 6. Stock und war sehr ruhig, überhaupt ist ist es nirgendswo im Hotel laut. Zwei Straßen weiter befindet sich ein TESCO falls man sich etwas kaufen möchte. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral direkt an einem Park.

Cons:

mir fällt leider nichts ein, alles war sehr gut.
