9.2/10 Wonderful! (642 reviews)
Set in a prime location that's a doddle to find, our recent stay proved to be a rather pleasant affair overall. The staff were the epitome of friendliness, always ready with a smile and keen to assist, which set a welcoming tone from the off. Our room was a revelation in terms of space and the beds were comfy, ensuring a snug night's sleep. The hot shower was a boon, especially after a day of exploring Bremen, and starting each day with their breakfast was a delight, thanks to both the quality and variety on offer (just no croissants on the 2nd day).
However, it wasn't without its niggles. The room's lighting system, though innovative with motion sensors and proximity sensors, proved to be more of a faff than a feature. The low lighting activated by motion sensors near the bed was particularly troublesome, disrupting our child's sleep without the option to turn it off. Additionally, the overcomplicated switches could plunge the room into darkness or flood it with light unexpectedly—a bit of a to-do when all you're after is a midnight sip of water.
On a brighter note, the room's decor paid a charming homage to Bremen, a refreshing change from the usual functional but uninspired hotel room aesthetics. It felt unique and personal, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay.
The only real point to improve our stay was the cleanliness. Discovering a champagne cork under the bed raised eyebrows, and a stained bench at the bed's end, though partially cleaned upon our request.
