The stay was good and room was clean. I would suggest to add hangers in the bathroom to hang clothes or towel after shower.

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.

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.

The location of the hotel was excellent for my purposes of walking to the art museum and traveling very easily from the main train station by streetcar a few stops.
The breakfast buffet was extensive and good.
The room I stayed in had several spots in the carpet that needed a good cleaning and in the bathroom the wood or faux wood in front of the sink showed real signs of wear. The walls were thin and noise traveled easily.
I am sensitive to down blankets and bedding and was given a handicap accessible room with a huge bathroom. I would recommend the room and hotel no problem, especially because I booked through Orbitz and got a great deal for airfare and hotel together.

The location of this hotel is easily accessible from the Bahnhof. We were able to find everything that we need around it. Pharmacy, supermarket, fitness center, etc. The Christmas market is so close also the shopping centers are near by. The room is so comfortable and clean. We have been there many times and we will definitely come back later!

Nice sized rooms, and that's it. There's almost nothing in the rooms. For the cost, there are many nicer hotels around this neighborhood. There are two towels in the room and that's basically it. There's almost no staff in the hotel. The most barebones, pricey hotel I've been in.

Nice, central and great staff
I booked and paid for 2 adults and 1 11 year old child (2 double beds on the booking confirmation) but the room only had one double bed. Luckily the hotel managed to find a fold-up bed but still, that wasn’t what I booked and pay for.
