Booked for three nights and stayed one until we found a much nicer hotel. The rooms were very smelly and breakfast was awful. If you don't mind exotic massage shops a sex shop next door and a sex cinema on the other side this may be okay for you.

Good location
Very good location to get to Dom and Christmas markets. Shower flooded our first room but relocated without any hassle. Breakfast room too small and ground floor rooms were noisy at night.

The hotel rooms were very dated and needed renovating. Shower leaked, shower rail was held up by electrical wire. There was no kettle or refreshments in the room. It's a very loud hotel, lots of doors banging throughout the day and night. The hotel is based next to a sex shop and a sec cinemas. Breakfast is basic but does the job. Staff were friendly. But we won't be returning.

A full account of our stay.
Checking in in the evening the young man was overly helpful. The room did NOT look like the pictures, the carpet very dirty as was the one chair in our room. The bedding an towels nice, but we both rolled to the middle, old bed. Breakfast nice as was the morning staff. Also NO Wifi the 2 days we were there! They said…working on it?

Good location, 20 minutes walk to central train station and restaurants nearby. Quiet, warm and comfortable. Only downside was that when we arrived, no one was at reception. We tried messaging the reception's number but the reception does not have WhatsApp so we could only contact them through the Expedia messaging system. Receptionist arrived 5-minutes later.
