Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and well staffed, meaning items were refilled quickly and efficiently. Location was perfect for us as a family - we came for the Christmas markets and the train car taking you around the four main ones was a few minute walk!

Room was very small for 4 people. A/C made noise but didn’t actually cool the stuffy room, therefore, opened window which was on the main busy road which was not ideal. Great parking garage well lit, clean and secure.

The room was neat and clean and location is about 26 min walk to the Cathedral square. However, the available self parking was a bit expensive for 21 Euro for a night, especially this is not mention in the booking that the self-parking has an extra charge. But overall stay was great.

Staff were helpful and friendly, the whole hotel was very clean, modern and nice. Breakfast was amazing and tasty, so much choice and buffet was kept clean and tidy. I used the gym which is small but has a few cardio machines, there is only one weights machine and it doesn't do a lot. The sauna is great, however, as a woman i did not appreciate men not wearing bathing shorts in the sauna/sauna room. I felt very uncomfortable. This needs to be made extremely clear to guests. The room was big, the bed very comfortable. Would be great if the tv had streaming services like netflix or casting capabilities. The room was a little dark in the daytime for natural light. Overall I would stay again but maybe not use the sauna on my own :(
