"This place was great. Very reasonable price. Clean. Great shower in bed. Excellent pillow. I appreciated a free bottle of water and having a fridge in the room. My only Slight disappointment was with the fitness center, which had no heavy dumbbells in the universal gym wasn’t great. Again for this price point fitness centre was just a bonus. Also the location was excellent quick street car ride into downtown or to the train station. Was also walkable. I would definitely stay here again."

"We stayed at this hotel only for one night, when traveling through the Germany. Hotel is beautiful, clean and looks like it just recently had some renovations done. Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely man, he was friendly, spoke English and made the check in process easy. We stayed in the apartment which was clean and had all the equipment you could need. Outside restaurant looked lovely and had some event happening but music stoped by 10pm. Underground parking was a bonus and great price. Few minor things: -There was no tea and kettle in the room, but we requested that in the reception and was given it no problem, thank you to the man at the reception. -Looks like our room had some conference or meeting prior so there was white board left and a massive table. It didn’t bother us, kids stayed in that room and found it entertaining. -Very small duvet for the double bed. -If you want to check in after 9:30pm no staff Same with check out, no one available if you need to leave earlier than 7am. But they say that in the description so we knew what to expect. Overall I’d give this hotel a solid 8.5 out of 10. Friendly staff, clean, modern, beautiful surroundings, parking, well equipped apartment."
