Great design, big rooms, breakfast was really good, excellent location and quiet
The hard floors meant that it was quite noisy when people walked down the corridors

Lots of choices for breakfast. Above average buffet (loved the real honeycomb). New waitress was very kind. She'd been there just a few days. The property was also very nice in refunding my last two days because of a medical issue with my friend that caused me to have to move to a different hotel. The room was a nice size and the bed was very comfortable. Convenient, quiet location near the Bahnhof.
1) On the first night, my train got in at 3:45 am and my Google maps was not functioning well I.e. I couldn't find the property. The receptionist was supposed to answer the phone all night long, but I called many times and no one answered. I walked the streets for 25 minutes before I finally found it. The receptionist was sitting there when I arrived and claimed he'd been making breakfast the entire time I'd been calling and thus did not hear the phone. 2) The hotel claims to have an affiliate relationship with a commercial gym which guests can use for a mere 3 Euros. What's not divulged is that the hotel only has one card, which guests will have to give the gym to gain entrance. If someone is using the card already, other guests are out of luck and cannot use the gym for that low price. I was a victim of this scenario. When I asked if I could use the card in a couple of hours when it would likely be returned, the female receptionist coldly said that I could not since I'd already be checked out by then. I said every other hotel I'd ever stayed at had allowed me to use its facilities for the entire day on the day I checked out. This seemed like very stingy behavior. Later, she relented and said I could come back for the key. I tried that but she said the key was in use again so I was out of luck. She did let me leave my luggage behind the counter while I went to a different gym on my own dime and did a little sightseeing in town. When I came back to collect my luggage, I realized that I'd left a credit card at a store a ways away. I asked if I could leave my luggage again for another 45 minutes while I ran back to the store to retrieve my card. She said it was ok with her. I then went to the bathroom to put on some shorts (vs. pants) so I could save time. When I came back to the reception desk, the manager was there and said I needed to get my luggage and leave immediately. Obviously, this little extra favor was not ok with him.

Room was clean, comfortable beds, good breakfast. Very nice and friendly staff :) who made us feel welcome.
Unfortunately, our room windows were facing parking and it was a bit noisy during the night, however we knew about this as we stayed in this hotel before, and it was not too much bother for us. Also the parking around the hotel is now paid.

Very well modern equipped hotel with very nice and helpful personal. The breakfast is perfect and there was even honeycomb.
Nothing. There is no bar, but that makes the hotel quiet what we prefer

The room is clean, lovely staff.
No air conditioner in the room, the room is too hot and even worse at night. The fan in the room didn't help to cool us down. It's was uncomfortable to sleep. They could have more options for breakfast, as it became boring for the second day of our stay; eating the same thing.
