It’s a good Novotel with quite nice rooms, although the gym and sauna are quite poor/dated and the staff could be a bit more attentive. Overall nothing to complain about but also nothing to praise

The room and the property are very good. The room is comfortable and clean. The bathroom is modern and has a nice shower. Wifi is consistent with high bandwidth. There is a restaurant and bar next to the lobby. Food quality and service are hnhoffa. The hotel is directly across from the subway and just a few stops away from the Hauptbahnhoff.

One night I got so drunk that I feel asleep in front of the bench that’s right outside the elevator doors of the 4th floor. I was in my underwear and had to go down to the lobby to get a card. The front desk guy didn’t make it awkward and didn’t laugh at me or freak out. Would definitely stay here again since the beds are comfortable and the bench wasn’t a bad place to sleep either.
