The Hotel is clean and modern but there were no bathroom accessories except for the shower gel on the wall and handwash and hand lotion on the basin. The bathroom and bedroom were small and no refrigerator. Housekeeping is only done on request. Breakfast was nice but basic. I asked for a shower cap but they do not provide them. The redeeming feature was the location next to the station with food and various other stores within the station. However, the hotel was well insulated and not affected by outside noise.

Very nice room, clean and with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet (which I booked for €17.90 during check-in) was also worthwhile - with English breakfast, small breads, all kinds of cheeses and meats and vegan options.

Gerne wieder! Sauberkeit, Freundlichkeit am Empfang und Zimmer im Allgemeinen top! Bedingt durch die Lage direkt am Hauptbahnhof etwas laut, dadurch allerdings gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten; Parkplatz-Situation nicht ideal, aber handelbar durch mehrere Parkhäuser in der Nähe!
