I prepaid for this hotel and they still charged me at the hotel and hotels.com did nothing about it. This hotel lie said they gave me a receipt when they only gave me a piece of paper with the Wi-Fi password on it. I don’t know how hotels.com can be a hotel there no idea what is going on the locals around this hotel warn me about this place. Please look at other options. There are better hotels.

Go with a better option than here

Reception is only open 15:00-20:00 so if you need anything or have questions before or after these times, you cannot reach anyone. Check out is at 11:00. Since no one is available at the desk, you cannot check out manually if you prefer to settle charges and have a receipt in your hand before you leave. You must drop your keys in a box and hope they do not mess up your bill. The customer service is non existent, and the rooms are very basic. Cleanliness was good, and the breakfast was normal for a European breakfast. The view from the dining facility on the 19th floor is lovely. The morning staff was friendly, unlike the front desk reception staff who are cold and robotic, lacking any hospitality customer service training. Overall, there's a sinister energy about this place, so we would not choose to stay here again.

Kurztrip geeignet für kleinen Geldbeutel.

Sehr nette Empfangsdame, leider kein Treppenaufgang und ohne Klima. Jedoch war das Zimmer sehr sauber und im 13.Stock auch sehr ruhig tzd zentraler Lage. Einrichtung sporadisch mit Teppich. Alles in allem gut geeignet zum Schlafen für einen Kurztrip für einen kleinen Geldbeutel.

Zimmer waren sauber und jeden Tag top gemacht und auch immer mit frischen Handtüchern 👍 Frühstück war sehr gut und reichhaltig und der Herr, der dafür zuständig war, immer sehr zuvorkommend 👍

Das Bett war nicht, wie in anderen Hotels, glatt bezogen. Sah aus, als hätte schon jemand darin gelegen! Die Matratze durchgelegen, viel zu weich. Wir waren um 9 Uhr frühstücken, da waren nur noch Krümel vom Rührei zu finden. Es wurde auch nicht nachgelegt oder gefragt!
