Hotel for one night if you want to rest on the highway. There was a strange smell in the room. Uncomfortable, crumpled bed. Breakfast must be purchased separately at the bar. Several sets to choose from. Generally, it was clean and quiet. Parking by the hotel. To eat dinner, it is better to go to the town.

You get to start your evening by going into the travel center where you check in at the coffee bar where you can wait u til they serve coffee to a dozen patrons before paying you any mind.The hotel itself isn't that bad. Although it looks like you're in a hotel from a horror film with the flickering automated lights that give it a bit of a "things that go bump in the night" feeling.Oh, and there are no cups for water.

Very clean, tidy place if you need a one night sleep... Easy way to find and arrive... Good room size.. Nice service on the station itself. To be recommended. For the breakfast: if you really need it - it is all fine, otherwise the good coffee and a good croissant will make it, also for the kids.. fresh served..

The building itself does not look very fancy but entering will change the feeling. The hotel room was good, the bed was confortable, the bathroom was quite big and clean. It was quiet. …

The hotel is nice and the rooms are very clean. It is located on the highway, so there is no way avoiding the highway if one wants to visit the nearby town. Even though it is right near the highway, it is very quiet and you don't hear any cars driving by. There are two kinds of breakfasts, one "normal" and one "all inclusive", depending on the price you are willing to pay. I had the normal one. It was OK, you get the usual stuff. I found it a bit confusing at first, until you understand what you are allowed to get from the buffet. The internet was not great. Videos only play at very low resolution. Maybe good for some emails and checking the news. I had a good overall experience, especially considering the price. I would choose the hotel again in the future.

Stayed here with my children (18 and 21) in the beginning of July 2016 in a Family room with all the basics: A comfortable double bed and a bunk bed. A very small Tv and good fast Wifi. The room also had a nice shower and toilet. …

Good and easy hotel-motel on the motorway between Bayreuth and Nürnberg.The rooms are clean,enough furnished for a night or two.Bathroom clean too.Only one thing I can't understand : why a TV set is placed so high on the wall? …
