It was okay, but there seemed to be some renovation work going on at the hotel. Because of that, not all services were available. Also, breakfast wasn’t served at 7:30 – nobody was there yet. It was set up later, which made us almost late for an appointment.

Overall, a great hotel, and the convenience of being so close to Velites Arena was worth the stay. However, they did not have blackout curtains as advertised, or at least not enough. It seemed they only had 3 panels when it should have been at least 4. Paid for it with my toddler not sleeping as long as he needed to…

Das Zimmer war leider nicht wirklich sauber, überall war Staub. Da verspricht man sich bei 4 Sternen deutlich mehr. Das frühstück war leider fürchterlich. Es war nahezu alles 1h vor dem Ende bereits weg. Am Ende haben wir 38€ für 4 aufbackbrötchen bezahlt. Auch das ist mehr als dürftig bei 4 Sternen. Wir werden es nicht mehr buchen.
