"Room was decently sized and clean. It came with free water and a bottle of beer (nice touch). The bathroom is small but functional. However, the building doesn't have an elevator. Arrival by car is quite complicated, because of construction in this part of town. No parking around the building, but the closest public (underground) parking is a short walk.

"Zuerst bekamen wir ein Standard Zimmer nach langem Marsch in einem Annex Gebäude in der 2.Etage exakt gegenüber lauten Bauarbeiten am neuen Lift, der deshalb natürlich nicht funktionierte. Nach einer kurzen Intervention an der Rezeption wurde uns dann schließlich ein etwas besseres Zimmer im Vorderhaus zugeteilt, mit dem wir auch sehr zufrieden waren. Das Gepäck, dass wir mühsam in den 2.Stock geschleppt hatten, wurde uns von einem freundlichen jungen Mann ins neue Zimmer gebracht. Das Zimmer hatte eine kleine Kaffeemaschine aber leider keinen Kühlschrank. Das Auto parkte gegen Gebühr in einer Tiefgarage direkt am Hotel. Das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig und lies keine Wünsche offen."
