Do not get the economy rooms

This hotel is Jeckyll and Hyde. If you get a room on the side with the trams, it's awful (see other reviews), if you get a room on the other side, it's totally fine, 4* review, not an issue. I would recommend paying more for the better rooms and finding somewhere else if you want to spend less money.

Horrible experience that we had so far. Not any responsible person at the front desk after evening. They just hanged a number behind the glass door for emergency call that I called them several times but no one took the phone. The room was so hot and smelling like mold is growing because of bad ventilation and moisture. I found some beetles in the last 2 days in the bathroom but no one took the phone to come over for cleaning. There is not any phone in the room to connect to front desk and you need to use your personal phone to reach out to them. The breakfast was supposed to start and 6:30 am but everyday start with delay and first day not serving either without any notice or heads-up email. The bathroom vanity plumbing was leaking and all around the bathroom floor was wet and smelled so bad.

Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommend. Unsere Anliegen wurden am Telefon im Vorfeld schon sehr freundlich von Frau Clemens entgegen genommen und auch der Hotel Aufenthalt war zu unserer vollen Zufriedenheit. Vor Ort kümmerte sich Herr Zillert um einen Kühlschrank den wir Aufgrund einiger Lebensmittelunverträglichkeiten benötigten und das Personal stellte uns diesen sofort ins Zimmer. TOLLES Frühstücksbuffet und freundliche, familiäre Atmosphäre. Wir sagen DANKE für einen gelungenen Aufenthalt 😊.
