It’s a budget hotel, but it’s done well. Everything works as intended, I didn’t have to contact anyone during my entire stay, it was clean, minimalistic, and offered exactly what it should; a cheap and reliable place to stay. The whole process from check in to check out is handled remotely, there is no reception desk or staff physically on hand, but everything worked perfectly fine and I found it to be a seamless experience. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs an affordable and reliable place to stay for a few nights, also, there’s a good grocery store on the doorstep of the building.

Good cheap hotel room, clean and quiet. Good shops and restaurants nearby and great for a stopover as just off motorway. Only downside is no reception and checkin is quite complicated on emails I found, as your phone is room key. Good job my son was with me to work this out. Parking is underground and secure as well which was excellent.

I really like the whole self check in and out idea but my main problem with this place is there is no AC, not fridge and it’s really hard to get cups for the coffee vending machine in the lobby. But it’s super clean, quiet, and has a nice view of a park. It’s the bare minimum of what you need and it’s a good value for the money.

The place is great, clean and with convenient location. Check in is smooth. The only downside was that even the parking is free, they shut down the parking from 12 am till 6, meaning, if you are coming late from a party, you have to park outside risking getting a ticket, or if something urgent happened at night and you needed to take your car out, you can’t.

We get the worst room ever. It was a door instead of a wall between two rooms. The guests next to us was very loud and they put music on in the middle of the night. We heard everything when they talk and laugh. We had to knock a few times to the door between the rooms and ask the guest next to us to be quiet.
Actually it is a connecting room (with a thin door between the 2 rooms). Somehow we get that room and shared it with some strangers. We had a horrible night and we barely sleep due to noise from the room next to us. It was room no 106.

Nice in many ways, but with some big problems

The hotel is new, and in good condition, and well specified - the bathroom is really good. The wifi works well. It has it's own underground car park, and it is conveniently located next to 2 supermarkets (one Aldi and another more upmarket one). The person on reception was very helpful.

But there are some important downsides:

The doors to each room have a very unusual modern entry system that requires users to enter a code, and then simultaneously hold a handle and twist a knob (not a handle), within a few seconds. Impossible to do unless you have both hands free. And in the room we had, it was so difficult that my wife didn't have the strength to turn the knob enough to successfully open the door. Seems unnecessarily difficult.

The other big issue is that the rooms don't have air conditioning, so on warm days you'll need to sleep with the window open. Unfortunately our room faced on to the car park for the supermarkets, where quite a lot of people gathered in the evening and into the small hours. We had quite a strong smell of marijuana coming in to our room. Also the nightclub across the road seems to close at around 6am, so the noise of people leaving there came straight into our open window.

It is a real shame - I really wanted to like this hotel. But it seems that decisions made when designing the hotel mean that, although it's new, I really can't recommend it.

En positiv ting er at det er billig. Det som er negativt er mange ting.
For det første, du må forstå tysk for å kunne finne fram til romnummer og din egen kode. Det finnes ikke en engelsk versjon. Jeg betalte 43 EUR ekstra for noe som jeg ikke vet hva er da det var på tysk.
Det andre er at det er tydeligvis lov til å røyke på rommene da hele gangen luktet røyk flere ganger.
Det tredje er at det er hjemløse som går gjennom søpla. Det burde være en lås på hoveddøra som gjør at dette ikke er mulig.
