Very nice and helpful staff. The room was clean even if kind if old. But totally Ok. The position is the best if you are in the city for a cin ern jn the close arena. Its also very convenient to reavh tye city center: just 20 minutes walking distance. The area is full of cafeterias, restaurants and shops.

Nice, clean hotel. The luggage storage is convenient. No issues except the hotels.com listing says they have laundry but the staff said they don’t.

This is not a hotel by any reasonable standard. This was one of the worst accommodation experiences I’ve ever had. Despite language online suggesting “modern,” “comfortable,” & conveniently located accommodation, this is deeply misleading. In reality, this property operates more like a poorly maintained hostel and should not be listed alongside legitimate hotels. The walls are paper-thin - you can hear people breathe next door & coming in & out all night making sleep impossible. The bed was extremely uncomfortable: hard, bowed in the middle, & so noisy that any movement caused loud creaking, waking us repeatedly throughout the night. The bathroom layout is poorly designed: the shower & toilet are crammed together, while the sink is inexplicably in the bedroom. There are no tea or coffee-making facilities in the room or anywhere on site, which is unacceptable even for budget accommodation. On a Sunday morning, when most local cafés are closed, this made getting a simple coffee very difficult. We only booked this property because it appeared close to the station. In practice, it really isn’t convenient, especially with luggage. There is no lift, so heavy suitcases must be carried up the stairs. The room itself was extremely small, with barely any space to open luggage or move comfortably & no fridge. The photos online are deceptive, showing a level of space and comfort that does not exist. Charging prices comparable to genuine 3- or 4-star hotels in EU capitals is insane.

Amazing value I would 100% recommend no complaints at all, I was able to enter at 3AM due to our late flight with no problems. Keys are on phones so are very easy. Just the best hotel I could have gone too.

Nice but expensive for what they offer.
Basic room, basic bed, no breakfast…
I was very certainly way overpriced because of a professional exhibition.

About a 15-20 minute walk to the center. When booking it said that the hotel is smoke-free, but it's very obvious when going up the stairs that people smoke there due to the very strong smell of smoke.

A warning for anyone looking to stay here, and especially book the "apartment", this is no better than a hostel.
The "apartment" is in fact three rooms on the top floor and a small, tired bathroom. There is no communal area you'd expect from an apartment, the rooms do not have air con, safes or fridges which is a basic amenity for a normal hotel room, let alone an apartment. The shower in the bathroom is not fit for purpose, the toilet is caked in grime, and there was a resident dead wasp on the floor of our entire stay, meaning the bathroom was not cleaned once.
DO NOT stay here if you want to feel like you're staying in a hotel.

Shockingly BAD!!
My family refused to stay in this hotel, as after booking we realised it appeared to be an asylum hotel and parking did not appear to be safe, cancelled booking and still got charged - TOTAL RIPOFF!!

Tolle Lage, nah an der Messe, sauber, freundliches Personal und einfacher Check-in.
Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen und könnte dringend eine Renovierung brauchen. Gestört haben uns vor allem die alten hellhörigen Türen und Fenster. Also Ohrstöpsel mitbringen! Aber trotzdem kommen wir gerne wieder.
