Located in close proximity to the Hauptbahnoff, this hotel is pretty nice, though the neighborhood…read moreleaves something to be desired.
The walk from the station will take you only but a few minutes, even if you're lugging baggage behind you. You'll have to walk past some lower end shops, but that's usual for areas near the main station. There is a good-sized grocery right next door to the hotel.
The hotel can be easy to miss if you're not careful since it's mid block and doesn't exactly line up with where Google says it is. The lobby is small but nicely decorated with a small front desk. It was busy when we walked in and took a little while to get our room. Check in is at 3pm.
Our room was on the top floor and was spacious and modern. Other rooms on this floor had balconies, but ours had an interior courtyard view. Well lit and cleanly decorated.
The bathroom is strange, with a full glass wall around the toilet, but a half wall in the shower. Not sure about that since you'll flood the bathroom every time you shower. No way around it. The towel warmer came in handy. The toilet seats have hidden bidets built in, courtesy of a few buttons on the side. Give it a try, the water is warm.
The mattress was firm, firmer than I would have liked and the sheet wasn't fitted and came untucked near the head. The bed was two twins stuck together to make one large bed, so the seam in the middle was palpable.
There is a gym on the second floor that offers a few machines.
You'll need your room keys to get to the elevator and up to your floor, so it feels secure enough.
Bonus: there's a street market on Thursday mornings just outside the hotel.
