I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious enough for the four of us, even as a non-smoker, but the noise from the street was a bit too much at times. It was a little chilly, but nothing to be overly concerned about.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and had all the necessary amenities, but the bed was small and uncomfortable, resembling a youth hostel setup. The service was very kind, although I had to change rooms due to hot water issues. The location was great, with easy access to the center, exhibition area, and traditional bier hall nearby. The dining options were good overall, but a bit limited for vegans and vegetarians. The facilities were satisfactory, but the overall experience was impacted by the dated room I was assigned.
