A great establishment, conveniently located by the train station, pedestrian zone and downtown…read moreWolfsburg. From here I was able to easily walk to Auto Stadt (the VW exhibits), and the Wolfsburg Castle, as well as the City Hall and the nearby library.
Staff were professional, friendly, and top notch. I tend to find German customer service lacking compared to the U.S. but these folks were great. The wait staff were super efficient, the whole breakfast experience well-orchestrated. On my first of two stays I also had a delayed bag, so they provided me with complimentary toiletries I needed for the first night, to get me through until I could go shopping the next day. When the bag did arrive later, and at 1:30 in the morning, the staff kept the bag secured until I was able to come down and retrieve it.
The room was well appointed, including a mini-fridge that has some complimentary juices and still and sparkling water. There's enough room to fit another bottle or two of a beverage of your choice, and the hotel's beverages are replenished every day. The bathroom has a large shower with great hot water and good water pressure, rainfall shower head and the handheld options. The bedding and pillows were comfy, although the mattress was a little firm for my taste.
The VEN restaurant for breakfast or an afternoon coffee was very good. The morning breakfast spread (after you give your room number) was expansive, with machines for a variety of coffees, several options for juices, and both the more "continental" breakfast of rolls with cold cuts/cheeses, or jams, and the more "American breakfast" with eggs (fried or scrambled), mushrooms, Nürnberger sausages, and bacon. You can grab a fresh plate and keep going.
The View rooftop bar is also great with friendly staff. The rooftop itself has very limited seating, but great views of the VW area, and the sunsets. The bar itself, one set of stairs down, has expansive windows, and lots of group seating areas, great music, and a large TV on which soccer matches were usually shown. Cocktails were good, and the beer selection is decent. The food here is also good.
I stayed here twice, one week each a month apart this summer for work, and if I'm in Wolfsburg in the future, I plan to stay here.
