Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was very spacious and had everything you needed, but had a few shortcomings in relation to cleanliness. The free beer and free soft drinks were a nice touch, but the room cleanliness was not well taken care of.
The hotel offers a mix of comfortable and spacious rooms with great amenities and friendly service, although the dining may not suit everyone's taste. Its location is convenient, but slightly secluded from the center.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered a great view, accessible by stairs or lift, but with a tiny, high-up window that felt a bit odd. The service was hit-and-miss, with friendly but inexperienced staff. The location was excellent for exploring the city but had its downsides. The dining experience left much to be desired despite the decent coffee. Overall, the hotel had its positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location is excellent for exploring museums and getting around with tram lines, but the room was extremely dark and cramped. The service was decent overall, although communication about fixing issues was lacking. The dining was delicious but pricey, and the facilities were just average.
The hotel is located in a prime spot in the museum district, allowing easy exploration on foot to top attractions like the museum square and concert hall. The rooms, while giving off an old-fashioned vibe inside, are well-appointed with lovely decor and bedding. The service staff, although the lift had a low weight capacity, is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The dining experience, aside from the expensive breakfast, was very good. The location is superb, with immediate access to tram lines and bicycles, although some might find it difficult to navigate without splashing water everywhere. Additional Details: Conveniently opposite a tram stop, making commuting a breeze and attracting more seasoned travelers.
