tender moments in a spacious haven
attentive staffwarm bathgood first impressioncarbonated water
I found the staff lovely, especially caroline. She gave such a darling first impression, making me feel welcome. ricardo was so attentive during breakfast, always ensuring my needs were met, it was dreamy. i really appreciated the bathtub. Long soaks in a warm bath are so tender, a pure moment of bliss. the self help carbonated water station on the 4th floor was such a sweet addition, a little sparkle to quench my thirst.
The trams run frequently. I could hear them throughout the night, a constant reminder of the city's pulse. it was ok, though the room included earplugs.
Location
9/10
The hotel stands conveniently by the railway station, placing guests right near major transport links. A tram stop in front ensures swift access to many areas. There are several dining options, including the Markthalle food court, all within easy reach.
