ibis really puts the "budget" in budget with this chain, and this hotel fits the mold. Somewhere between a prison cell and a hotel room, the facilities here are functional to the extreme, but generally clean (linens fresh, did have long black hair on floor, and I'm blond...) Stayed here multiple times, staff is always great. Easy to walk over to the Bahnhof and multiple tram lines run nearby.
Patrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The front desk staff were very helpful and welcoming. The room was kept clean and the facilities were exceptionally splendid.
Davis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location and value for money

The hotel offers all the basic amenities you would expect and is good value for money situated in a very central location with walkable distance from the city centre. The food was good, but could do with a bit more variety. Staff were also friendly and welcoming and the room was clean and comfortable.
Ioannis, 2-night trip
