Since we were visiting the trade fair we chose this hotel, it is just opposite. The price is good. Good value for money. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. It had a small coffee maker in the room. However, the room was noisy.We didn't take advantage of the breakfast offer. If you are looking for a cheap hotel right next to the trade fair, this is recommended.

Arrived to be greeted by a receptionist unfriendly to the point of rudeness. My wife and I were given a small 'L' shaped room (506) with twin beds that were around the corner from each other. …

Rooms are small, have odd configurations, and contain interesting articles (watering can). Overall clean, but with many broken items and non functional appliances. Reception staff could be friendlier.Parking is available for a fee, but don't expect a lot of space if you have a SUV or larger vehicle.Breakfast is decent with a friendly waitress.

The young lady with short hair at reception was very pleasant to deal with. The night worker with long grey hair was less than pleasant with no customer service skills. You also have to pay to exchange a dirty towel for a clean one.The rooms were clean but small. The bed was comfortable but no AC in the rooms. It’s a good thing the windows in our rooms were large and could open up completely and get some relief from the heat. The safe didn’t work and there was no clothes iron or board.Don’t expect to sleep in as the noises from other rooms start early. In order for your room door or bathroom to properly latch you have to slam it closed. So you can imagine that x50 in the morning.The location is really good with transit within 200ft. There was two cold bottles of water in the fridge which was a nice gesture.
