The city center location is great for exploring the city. The breakfast was okay for the price.Unfortunately, the negative aspects still outweighed the negative aspects;- The beds were extremely uncomfortable (very thin mattresses) and the noise in the house was very high due to various school classes. Overall, restful sleep was out of the question.- The bathroom in particular was very dirty. For example, we didn't want to use the shower. When we arrived there was hair that was definitely not ours on a pillow.Of course it is a cheap accommodation, but even such accommodation has to be clean. We won't be coming back.

The family room was clean and spacious. However, it seemed a bit uncomfortable with the linoleum floor and the spartan furnishings (a carpet, a small sofa or pictures on the wall would make a difference), but that's probably because school trip groups often stay here. We were also put off by the dining room in the basement with tiles and simple wooden chairs - we went for breakfast elsewhere. The play area for children (lobby) wasn't particularly inviting either, a lot of things were broken and messed up. Despite the shortcomings mentioned, we were able to spend a few days at the A&O Leipzig. The bathroom was clean, the beds were fine and overall there was a pleasant atmosphere in the house. The service at the reception was also great. The location of the hotel in the immediate vicinity of the main station and the city center was unbeatable for our city trip with train travel and children. We would come back.

Never again, the beds weren't made, sometimes there was hair on the pillows. I and my room partner have red spots in some places on our bodies that weren't there before. The breakfast was okay. I won't be coming again.
