Pros:

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt! 😊

Die Lage ist sehr zentral und ideal, um alles schnell zu erreichen. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit, und unser Zimmer war sehr sauber und gepflegt.

Besonders positiv: Wir hatten nach der Abreise unsere Ladegeräte im Zimmer vergessen. Das Personal hat sich sofort darum gekümmert und sie uns sehr schnell zurückgeschickt. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Service! 🙏

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Klare Empfehlung! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pros:

Room was big, including the bed that was also comfortable: a little "cheap" feeling overall, mainly for doors and windows, but totally matching the price. We asked for a crib that was good. Breakfast was continental with almost everything, including a good coffee machine along with scramble eggs&beacon, yogurts, some croissants, breads, fruits, beverages, ... not big, but with everything. Location is perfect, just few minutes from the central station hence from the Cathedral and from there city center. Maybe at night the surroundings were not the best in the city, but we generally felt safe.

Cons:

We had the room at the 5th floor, but the elevator (which was small) stopped at 4th... meaning a floor had to be done by steps. Not a big issue, even with a stroller we had, but something to consider (there are only 3 rooms at the 5th floor).

Super Lage, toller Empfang
Pros:

Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet. Kurzer Weg zum Hauptbahnhof und zum Subzentrum Egelstein.

Der Empfang war toll und sehr herzlich. Zimmer war Standard und erfüllt die Ansprüche eines Kurzaufenthaltes

Minibar bzw Kühlschrank top. Wasserkocher top - leider keine Tassen und Teebeutel.

Zimmer war zur Hauptstraße: nachts nicht mit geöffnetem Fenster schlafen

Cons:

Der Klassiker: die Duschkabine nicht vollkommen keimfrei
