Barely a hotel
My visit started with an arrival at about 4pm, only to find the door locked and no answer on the phone number provided on the door despite multiple calls. In desperation I went around back--perhaps a service person could be found. By chance the kitchen boss was coming up the stairs from the basement. I explained and she apologized profusely and was very helpful. She said I should have been given an entry code or lockbox info so I could get the key to my room...Anyway, I was lucky. She told me breakfast started at 7 if I wanted it; since I probably didn't I asked if I could just get an espresso--no problem. That was true the next morning but the one after that, and another one, the door to the restaurant was locked; later I was told that was because nobody was expected for breakfast; they should tell all the guests that (the hotel literature simply says breakfast starts at 7...). But what finished off my respect for the hotel was when I came back to the room around 6pm a couple days later and found the door ajar, and a key in the door (not my key). Yikes. I went down and spoke to the bartender--poor woman since it had nothing to do with her. She called someone and was told it was the room maid.... The room itself had a table but no desk and the table was not near an outlet...not convenient for working. What I can say that I liked was 1) some people (when they were available) were very helpful and 2) the espresso (when I could get one) was very good.

Great place
A great little hotel, perfectly situated on the main street with access to several good restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything I needed. If you want value and homeliness in a central setting then this is the place for you.

Affordable hotel, Clean room, Friendly Staff
I stayed here in December 2017 while I was visiting Leipzig for 34C3. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from Bayerischer train station, manageable if one is traveling light. Check-in was smooth, but be aware that there are no elevators in the building. I found the room clean and well furnished. The road that the hotel is on is generally peaceful with the occasional street tram passing by. I got good night's rest every night. I did not purchase the breakfast though I did happen to have breakfast at the restaurant one day, and it was excellent. I highly recommend Hotel ViaCity, and would like to pass on a huge thank you to the restaurant staff for their assistance in getting in touch with hotel staff when time came for me to check out.

o.k. place, but not really a hotel --
Minimally staffed reception, more often closed than not. When the reception was closed, a sign said we were to go to the restaurant downstairs -- but the staff there did not really know anything, they provided breakfast, and I suppose one could pick up or drop off the key there, but when we had a problem with the wifi, they had no idea what to do.

Overnight stay
On a hot day, the hotel was quite a long way out from the centre of Leipzig so a good 40min walk from the Hauptbahnhof (although it is possible to take a tram). Hotel location is suffering due to the extensive roadworks going on in the street right outside (replacement of tram tracks) so it was not easy to walk on the pavement, and its restaurant is next door to the hotel itself (need to come out of the hotel and back into the restaurant from the street). Anyway, we were greeted by a very pleasant receptionist (owner?) who spoke good English and showed us to our room, which was actually a suite (although we had booked a double bedroom only). Room clean if spartan, but the bathroom had a very dim light (10W?) being the only real fault. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room but there was a coffee making device outside in the hall. A lot of street noise into the bedroom due to the number of restaurants nearby with street drinking/eating, and trams noisy too, so we were not keen on opening the windows at night until after midnight when it quietened down.

Good location but meager comfort
The hotel is located in an active part of Leipzig, with many clubs, bars and restaurants nearby. The hotel is in an old building, but the rooms are nicely renovated. However, the room was cool during my stay in November. Complaints to the housekeeping resulted in long explanations of how the heat needed to be set on 5 (was on 3 when I arrived) and how the heat was turned down during the day. However, even with the setting 5, the room remained cool, the radiators lukewarm to the touch. The large modern bathroom with slate floor was cold. The bed was also hard and somewhat uncomfortable. There is no elevator, so be prepared to carry luggage up a few flights.

Gutes Hotel für Kurztrip nach Leipzig
Das Zimmer und das Bad sind sehr gross. Bei Aufenthalt darauf achten dass dieses nicht auf die Hauptstrasse geht sondern zum Hof hin buchen. Parkplatz etwas zu teuer. Der Frühstückservice am WE gut, montags genau das Gegenteil. Bei diesem Preis sollte zumindest Frischkäse, Lachs, frisches Gemüse vorhanden sein

Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer mit einen kleinem 1/2 Zimmer. Das Schlafzimmer war geräumig, sauber auch im Bad alles prima. Wir haben nur bei der Buchungen nicht aufgepasst und ein Zimmer zur Strassenseite gehabt. Direkt unterhalb sind Kneipen, da war am Wochende, bei schönem Wetter natürlich einiges los. Im Hinterhof gibt es einen kostenpflichtigen Parkplatz, sehr praktisch. Wir würden wieder kommen, allerdings zumindest im Sommer ein Zimmer nach hinten nehmen.

Alles Super, die Räumlichkeiten großzügig. Für eine Familie wirklich Ideal! Unser Zimmer war im vierten Stock ohne Aufzug, hat uns aber nicht gestört. Betten sehr großzügig und bequem, mit kleiner Küche und Sitzgelegenheit für Notfall oder Kleinigkeiten. Nur Bad hat vom Comfort nicht zum Rest der Räumlichkeiten passend, sehr einfach. Beim Frühstück gab es nur ungenießbaren Filterkaffe(guten Kaffee nur gegen Bezahlung aus dem Restaurant) und kein Obst, der Rest war sehr gut.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir bedanken uns für Ihre Bewertung. Wir möchten Ihnen mitteilen, dass wir das Bad nun eine Woche geschlossen und auf den aktuellsten Stand, mit ebenerdiger Dusche und neuen Fliesen wie Amaturen und Farbe gebracht hatten. Bezüglich des Frühstückskaffee werden wir nochmal kontrollieren weswegen Ihnen nicht geschmeckt hat. Das Filterkaffee in fast allen Hotel´s, bei 100 Gästen und noch mehr vewrkauft werden, ist selbstverständlich. Kein Hotel kann es sich leisten 20 Vollautomaten bereit zu stellen bei einem Doppelzimmer-Zimmerpreis von 30 Euro pro Person und Frühstückspreis von 8,50 Euro. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ihr Hotel Via City Team.

nettes Hotel in der belebten Karli
Wir hatten einen 3tägigen Aufenthalt in Leipzig mit Stadtführung und Zoobesuch. Alles wunderbar mit der Straßenbahn zu erreichen. Das Auto haben wir von den Hotelparkplatz nicht wegbewegt. In der Straße gibt es so vielfältige Möglichkeiten auszugehen, dass man sicher immer etwas findet. Wir waren in Kollektiv, urige Kneipe mit guten preiswerten Essen "iss wie früher" und für ein Guiness im Killerwilly.

Hôtel bien situé
Arrivé un dimanche, la réception était fermée. L'accueil réalisé au restaurant attenant a été des plus rapides, voire froid. Le lendemain, nous avions l'impression de contrarier la personne responsable du petit-déjeuner par notre arrivée tardive à 9H30, (horaires du peit-dej. 8 à 10H). Heureusement que les jours suivants la dame présente a été très chaleureuse et aux petits soins. La réceptionniste a également été très serviable. L'hôtel est bien situé et nous n'avons eu aucune difficulté pour garer la voiture, malgré les travaux de réfection dans la rue. Les chambres sont tout à fait correctes et la salle de bain spacieuse. Dommage que l'on ne dispose d'une bouilloire que sur le pallier et non dans la chambre.
