Good value for money

Good location near the train station and with three different tram lines easily accessible. The room was clean and modern, nice shower, toilet in the “cupboard” a bit claustrophobic. Room is quite small, not made for a lot of luggage. The hotel is perfect for a short stay for a night before heading to the train station or the airport (airport bus leaves from just outside the train station).

Broken A/C

Facilities and hotel services were good, however the A/C or fan was not working in the room. Regardless of the cold weather outside the room was suffocating and hot. We were unable to sleep with the heat and there was no way of changing it.

Instead of the afternoon our flight was delayed by 5 hours, so we only got to the hotel before midnight and the next morning we had to leave early, so we only used the hotel for a few hours sleep. The room was a shoe box for 3 people. The bunk bed was uncomfortable and it was expensive for what it was. The sink was in the room.

Does what it says on the tin

The hotel offers everything a hotel usually does except a bar or restaurant. However the Novotel next door has both so sorted. A ten minute walk through an undercover tunnel takes you to the railway station and bus and tram terminal so you can get everywhere. The hotel gives you a city pass for reduced cost museum access and free travel. The term Budget sets the scene, but how long do you spend in your hotel when on a City Break?

ibis really puts the "budget" in budget with this chain, and this hotel fits the mold. Somewhere between a prison cell and a hotel room, the facilities here are functional to the extreme, but generally clean (linens fresh, did have long black hair on floor, and I'm blond...) Stayed here multiple times, staff is always great. Easy to walk over to the Bahnhof and multiple tram lines run nearby.
