Good Morning....So, since it is a relatively new hotel, everything seems new. It will be interesting in 5-6 years when you see how it is cared for...Room...Sufficient size, and very clean.Positive extra, kettle and 2x coffee.A small wish would be a refrigerator and a bag for the dirt... otherwise great!Bathroom...A bit small, but still sufficient. However, the shower has plenty of space.Overall very clean.(And if you ever find a hair, you should clean it yourself, you always find something like that, especially if you look for it)Breakfast...Sufficient selection. Personally, I would like coffee that doesn't come from a vending machine. Let's be honest, there is nothing better than a freshly made filter coffee. Above all, the scent that hits the guest's nose in the elevator.😉Bear...The prices are ok.Staff...Now a big shout out to EVERYONE!!!Whether reception, evening bar or breakfast room...EVERYONE has a smile that comes across as genuine and there is also a little small talk. The human resources department showed a good hand in the selection!🙂👌(Please pass it on!!!!!)Personal concern...I think it's great that you're protecting the environment and not just throwing all your towels in the laundry.Aaaabut...:I find it very disrespectful to your cleaning staff to ask the guest to simply throw the towels that need to be replaced onto the floor!!!They have a hard job and I refuse to show my appreciation by throwing their work at their feet...Maybe rethink and redesign the signs...Little tip, I put the used towels next to the sink.I think you can also demand a small amount of decency from the guest!!!Okay, enough writing...Four stars because you are not a luxury hotel😉

Stayed at this hotel for business.Location is good so far, not quite on the main street and therefore quite quiet.Check-in was very sober with a short greeting and handing over of the room card. No information about floor or breakfast times.Rooms very clean and well equipped.Bed is comfortable, I had a bit of trouble with the blanket.The temperature in the room was very warm. I had the “air conditioning” set to 19 degrees, unfortunately this didn’t work.Breakfast sufficient and functional, nothing more and nothing less

Top hotel, was quite cheap, very friendly staff, rooms were very clean. Of course, you can't expect a sea view for the money you pay here, but it's more than enough for a few nights for work or visiting family. Breakfast is included and of course there is something for everyone. I would just stay away from the "scrambled eggs", it's really disgusting, but that's the only criticism. To the hotel: it's better not to serve scrambled eggs at all than to do that.

The photo probably speaks volumes. Motorcycles are parked in front of the outdoor spaces. Guests from a free church are milling around us.
