the location is really good, it's close to christmas markets, and the tram is just two minutes away. the hotel gave a pass for transport, so using the tram became quite simple.

the room was fine but it lacked something special.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. They ensured all needs were met. My room had a separate toilet, which I appreciated. I found the coffee and water station on each floor convenient. It simplified getting refreshments. The smoking area outside provided a pleasant space. It had a table and chairs.

The hotel's concrete design may not appeal to everyone though I did not mind it.
