Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were well furnished and super clean. However, they were quite different from the pictures on the website. I found a dangerous uncovered plug socket, which could be risky for children. The hotel's service left much to be desired as the staff was rude and unhelpful, failing to address issues promptly. On the positive side, the location was convenient, close to transit options, and central. The dining experience offered a standard selection of German breakfast items at an acceptable price. The facilities were average but lacked attention to safety hazards.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a balcony and nice view, perfect for two people, but it was a bit challenging to navigate with a bed against the wall. The breakfast included was good, which was a plus, especially when sharing the room with siblings.
The hotel was not as expected based on the website images and seemed to have seen better days. The cleanliness was a major issue, especially in the hygiene areas. The lack of cooling amenities like a refrigerator or a fan made the rooms extremely uncomfortable.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located within easy walking distance of train and subway stations. The room, though spacious, had lingering smoke odor from previous guests, but the staff accommodated our request promptly. The dining experience was reasonably priced but lacked variety. The absence of local facilities was a downside during my stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near train stations and subway stations, offering large rooms with comfortable beds and clean bathrooms.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not what I expected, with a strong unpleasant odor that made it uncomfortable, but the service was excellent and the staff went out of their way to address our concerns. The hotel's location was convenient for travelers but lacked some vibrant surroundings. The dining options were average, offering a decent selection at a reasonable price. The facilities were adequate but nothing outstanding.
The hotel's rooms are in need of renovation, with outdated furnishings reminiscent of the 80's. Despite a dangerous uncovered plug socket, the rooms carry a lingering smell of cigarette smoke. On the bright side, the hotel's central location offers easy access to train and subway stations.
The hotel was clean and had all the expected facilities but lacked proper lighting in the rooms and had narrow bedding. The service was unprofessional and not customer-oriented, especially at the Skybar. The location was convenient for train and subway stations but lacked local amenities. The dining experience was average with a limited selection for the price. However, the hotel surprised me with its terrible condition despite being close to the main railway station.
The room at the hotel was not what we expected as it wasn't really a non-smoking room like the photos on the booking platform showed. However, it didn't have a tapestry and smelled fresh, which was fortunate.
The hotel rooms had modern furniture but were not properly cleaned, making it inconvenient to use the hygiene areas. Despite the basic bedding, the convenient location near the train station is a standout feature. The service was a mix of mistakes and kindness, with some staff lacking a proper customer service attitude. The dining experience offered good variety at a reasonable price, but the poor selection for the cost was disappointing.
