8.6/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)

Stayed for 2 nights. Property is a bit older, but most of it is still in decent conditions. Price is good for the value. But: My main 2 issues: Internet is extremely bad. Gym is in same building and looks amazing, but it is 5 euro per day, which was not as advertised on expedia. I had 2 stays booked but changed hotel for these two issues The reataurant is quite nice with nice staff. Hotel is close enough to ammenities ( altestadt is walkable, the soccer stadium is walkable and ther is a grocery store a couple of minutes walk. Overall, if you dont care about a bit older hotel, bad internet and don't use the gym, this could be a pretty good hotel for you
