excellent locationbreakfast selectionsound proofingsystem issue

The location is excellent near the Messe area. I could walk from the hotel in less than ten minutes. The selection and quality of foods for breakfast were also excellent.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights. I did not get the room that I had booked because of a system issue. Instead of a king size, I got a twin bed. Rooms are not sound proof.

good varietycool designlimited equipmentsufficient parking

The breakfast was nice. It had a good variety. The staff were very polite and helpful. They answered all my questions. The location had convenient access to many restaurants. The building's design and common areas were really cool.

The gym's equipment was somewhat limited for a hotel of this size. Some homeless people were sleeping in the nearby park area. Someone offered me drugs on my morning walk. I did not feel safe walking alone. The hotel did not offer sufficient parking, which caused my family members to walk quite a distance to reach their cars.

The location is very convenient, with the U Bahn just a short walk away! There are also many restaurants and bars nearby, perfect for exploring. I found the breakfast buffet to be excellent, with a wide variety of high-quality choices.

The room decor looked a bit old, it could use some updating.
