The hotel is not recommended, as the place is not clean enough and has a foul and musty smell. There are no services, the Internet was broken, and there is no soap or shampoo in the bathroom. I will not repeat this experience again

We had a very good stay.The room is nice and the bed comfortable. Shared bathroom a bit small but clean. The host was helpful and nice as well.Location: it takes 20min with the tram from Hbf and then 10min walking. Bus is an alternative but it takes more or less the same time (and it doesn't go all the way to Hbf). But this is actually an ok distance.Keep in mind - Rooms with shared bathroom are on the 3rd floor with no elevator and steep stairs.

I didn't find the hotel that good, you can stay there for one night. I found the room itself to be fine, everything you would expect for the price range, but the quality left a lot to be desired and the bed was far too soft for me. I'm here on August 23 and I had a blanket that was too thick. Then the water in the shower was unfortunately cold, so I called and something was done, after that it was a little better but only lukewarm and not all the time. It was clean. The bathroom is just very old and looks accordingly. Conclusion: OK for a short stay but I wouldn't stay longer.

So the man was nice.But you can't really say that the room was clean.The smell in the whole building and in the room is amazing so I really couldn't sleep.I'm sorry, but you can't charge that much money for rooms like that, even when there's a trade fair.I'm not writing this to bash the hotel, but to hopefully improve it.
