Categories

Cleanliness
6.2
Mixed reports: several guests praise very clean rooms and comfortable beds, but multiple reviews mention inadequate cleaning, hair in bathrooms, stains on walls and persistent cigarette smell in parts of the hotel.
Service
7.6
Generally friendly and helpful reception noted in multiple reviews, though some guests reported brusque check-in interactions and limited assistance with issues (e.g., TV remotes, coffee machine).
Location
8.4
Consistently positive: close to tram/metro, convenient for Hauptbahnhof and local attractions, walking distance to parks and museums — strong location for short stays and events.
Room Quality
6
Rooms are often described as small and basic; some guests found beds comfortable and rooms very clean, while others reported old/interior, broken fridge, very soft beds or smoke issues and thin doors causing noise.
Amenities
5.8
Amenities are limited: multiple mentions of no air conditioning, no minibar/refrigerator in some rooms, problematic coffee machine and non-working TV remotes; small but available parking in courtyard.
Value for Money
6
Mixed perceptions: some guests find the hotel affordable for short stays; others criticize price–performance (overpriced for condition), and one reported being relocated to a noisier budget property with extra charges.
Food and Beverage
7
Breakfast descriptions vary from 'good' or 'sufficient' to 'poor' (missing fruit/veg, bad quality). Overall breakfast is serviceable for many guests but not exceptional.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall mixed but generally acceptable for short stays or budget-conscious travelers: strong location and some friendly staff, comfortable beds in several reports, but issues with cleanliness, noise, amenities and occasional poor service lower suitability for longer stays.

Pros:

Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist super.

Cons:

Ich hatte leider in meinem ersten Zimmer eine Bettwanze entdeckt. Nach der Meldung an die Rezeption habe ich ein anderes Zimmer bekommen, wo ich kein Tierchen mehr gefunden habe. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Nichtsdestotrotz war die Erfahrung unschön.

Pros:

Bra beliggenhet, ganske rimelig hyggelig personale,god seng.Hvis man har med seg egen vifte og ikke forventer for mye av frokosten var det helt ok.

Cons:

Ingen aircondition, elendig frokost, veldig trang innkjørsel til kun 3 parkerinhsplasser, men trygg parkering når du først klarte å komme deg inn i bakgården.
