The room was great, very well presented and good facilities. The hotel was modern and elegant. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. They allowed me to have a parcel delivered there ready for me to pick up upon arrival, they allowed us to leave our bags after check out so we didn't have to carry them around the city all day until our flight home. We would definitely stay here again.

Extremely comfortable bed! Also the hotel staff were very nice, courteous and helpful. I was headed to a concert and they gave me my key early (before check in time), and held my bags until I came back late that night. The room itself was absolutely lovely. My only regret is that I didn't get to stay here longer.
Nothing to speak of, would love to stay here again.

The rooms are spacious, functional and clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly. also the premises around the hotel are nice and green. Breakfast is OK.
The bar/restaurant area downstairs looks more like a canteen and is not very warm/hospitable. Some low seats would also be nice rather than just tables and chairs.

The room was a very good size and well set out as a disabled friendly room. Coffee facilities, which is not always in German hotels. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Parking was expensive and a distance from the entrance.

The breakfast was good and with a lot of choices
The bar was close before 1am (the official close time) but I can understand if no one was there since a long time
