City Lounge Hotel

Comfortable room with all the necessary ammenities and a big bathroom. The breakfast is decent, has everything you need to start a day. Internet was really good. Cleaned everyday and relatively good priced for the offer.

This is one of those hotels that has a reception that works only part of the day, for the rest you get your key from the safe. This is not a problem but needs to be known is someone doesn't like this that much. Since the "terrace" is metal you can easily hear the steps and if people are in the garden, so it can be a bit noisy. Also it's not that near the main trainstation or any other station.

Really nice place, location is handy enough from the main train station, a little further from the city centre. It's like a mini-motel with the rooms looking out on the courtyard. Very warm when I was there but because of the courtyard lay-out (and the large fan in the room) things were quite bearable. Everything worked well, has good range of TV channels (not always the case in Germany after the analogue switch off), wi-fi operated fine, breakfast perfectly adequate, managed the automated check-in without any problems. Particular plus point (and reason I initially selected the City Lounge) was kettle in the room, not standard for this grade of accommodation but extremely welcome in the warm conditions.

An extra (black) tea bag or two would not go amiss. While I had no problems with checking in automatically (no staff on reception in the evening), I struggle with the door key on the room I was allocated both times I stayed (Room 14). To be fair it's mostly technique, I am just not familiar with these type of locks and would prefer a room with a standard door handle (which most others seem to have).
