I was very happy to find this boutique hotel within shouting distance of the Messe. For many years I stayed at the Marriott but wanted a change. It is a charming, quiet and comfortable hotel. The staff are particularly good natured and helpful. I hope no one reads this review so the rates don’t go up too much for next year. Be aware though it’s not fancy or upscale so if that is what you are after it may not be the right fit for you.

Again, I believe every hotel that fills rooms with Expedia give the Expedia clients the worst rooms available. Right next to the laundry. A guest amenity? Maybe. The working laundry for the hotel as well? Yes. Noisy all evening long. Wow! A beautiful room. European meets Scandinavian in a natural blend. Sweet! Ewww. Basics first. You must slam your door to get it to click. Safe is available, whew. Locked open likely with dead batteries. Bathroom door worse than the room door. You can't even slam it shut. Now for the ewww. There's an artsy chair on the corner of the room. Futuristic! Like something on Star Trek. Dead center on the leading edge has a, let's say fluid stain. The only conceivable way the stain was exactly where it was must have been released by both participants in the throes of passion. By far the nastiest thick I've seen in my 50 years of traveling. I'm not sure the laws surrounding smoking Marijuana in hotels in Germany but the three hotel rooms closest to me and dozen or so guests were smoking up the entire floor. Hopefully you can charge the potheads a cleaning charge that may leave extra to burn the carnally crusty chair in my room.
