Fine

Completely fine - my room was fine for INE person (the bathroom / shower had glass walls so could be weird if you are sharing the space with someone. TV is impossible to manage. Only German channels. Ah, no AC in my room.

Great location and staff but.....

Great location, excellent staff. Strange room design with the toilet on one side and the shower on the other. Both recently remodeled though so I’m not complaining about those. Rather nice actually. No closet or drawers so I lived out of my suitcase for 5 nights. A couple of short poles to hang clothes on. VERY noisy. Construction site across the street started up at about 7 am but even beyond that, a lot of street noise. I could live with to spartan amenities if I was able to sleep.

Lovely but maybe avoid hot days

Design & room was lovely. Great restaurant & outdoor space - as it was a very sunny 33 degrees. The room was far to hot & couldn’t get the temp monitor to change anything, appeared to be no air con, which made getting comfortable & to sleep difficult. Great that it’s like a studio flat & has a deep bath - would have liked a larger choice of TV channels in English.

Cute hotel with a great bar downstairs

Very nice interior design, and the room was spacious! There was a separation between the bedroom and living room area which looked down to the street. The bar downstairs is part of the checkin desk and has excellent drinks.

Design hotel but no air-con and noisy outside

The hotel is in a convenient location for the main train station and has helpful staff. The rooms are nicely designed and are very modern. Unfortunately, there was no air-conditioning in the room although this is listed in Hotels.com. The road outside was busy and noisy. This meant that I had to choose between some air in the room or a lot of noise - this meant that I did not have a good night's sleep.

Good location

Central location and a few minutes form the main station. I overlooked the road and it was noisy when the window was open. (the room was always too warm). A good breakfast provided and worth the money.
