"This apart-hotel is a good central option. It is not fancy and being there for five nights missed having an armchair to sit in. However it lived up to my expectations and the location is great, a short walk to the centre, and about 25 minutes pleas to walk to Medienhafen. The kitchenette had most things, although takeaway was more likely. Staff were helpful. "
