Room Quality

Mixed: some rooms are small with small bathrooms, while other rooms are spacious (three-bed rooms). Beds comfortable but furnishings minimal and hallways/parts of hotel feel dated; some ventilation noise reported.
Amenities
7.1
Good free parking and 24h reception noted; limited in-room amenities (no kettle mentioned), dining area feels like a canteen and public areas could use TLC.
Value for Money
6.6
Perceived as fair by some guests but others felt price did not match quality (notably higher charges during a fair and comments that price-performance was poor).
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast sentiment varies from 'very good' to merely 'correct' or 'mediocre'; breakfast hall described as impersonal and some staff serving breakfast were reported as unfriendly.
Overall Experience
7.9
Generally a pleasant, restful stay for many guests (clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff and good parking) but tempered by small rooms for some, impersonal breakfast area, occasional service/cleanliness issues and dated public areas.

Angenehmer und erholsamer Aufenthalt
Pros:

Sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal. Das Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich. Meine Wünsche wurden alle berücksichtigt. Der Blick vom Zimmer ging ins Grüne und es gab sogar Aussenjalousien zusätzlich zu den Verdunklungsvorhängen. Das Bett war bequem und ich konnte sehr gut schlafen. Von der Lage ist das Hotel mit dem Bus auch gut erreichbar. Vom Hauptbahnhof aus ohne umsteigen und die Bushaltestelle ist in der Nähe des Hotels. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind auch nicht weit entfernt. Komme gerne wieder ins Hotel Garner.

Great space for sleeping and comfortable stay
Pros:

Rooms were spacious despite having three beds.

Cons:

Hotel looks old and could do with a little TLC in the hallways. Otherwise, the overall hotel itself is great

Pros:

Das Personal ist freundlich, die Zimmer sauber und für eine Nacht völlig in Ordnung.
Das Frühstück ist ausreichend , der Frühstückssaal erinnert an eine Mensa, es waren wenig Leute vor Ort, deshalb hat es uns nicht gestört.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer zur Strasse. Bei geöffneten Fenster ist es schwierig zu schlafen. Sind die Fenster zu ist alles o.k.
