Initially I was given a room on the second floor, which was somewhat dark and gloomy due to the lack of natural light. Upon opening the curtains I was presented with a pile of cigarette butts, as the window opened onto the inner courtyard ground.. not the greatest start.
I asked for a room with more light and was given a much nicer room on the fifth floor, facing the street, but with a caveat from the staff member; you won't get much sleep as the street is very noisy. She was right. So the staff, and therefore the hotel management, are aware of the noise problem but haven't done anything about it. You'd think they'd at least put double glazing on the windows.

Upon entering the room for the first time I found some cheap microsoft clipart flyers asking for donations to some charity. I thought this was really tacky. In fact Best Western's visual branding is rather cheap and tacky. I guess this is Best Western at it's best.. yesterday's hotel chain. They really need to work on their image.

In the morning I was then faced with more noise, this time from within the hotel, from other guests in the hall. It appears that sound proofing wasn't a priority when this hotel was set up.

The wifi was erratic and weak, which was frustrating.

The staff at this hotel, however, were really wonderful.

I would suggest to anyone planning a trip to Bremen to bypass this hotel and stay at the Swissotel just up the road. It is slightly more expensive but what a huge difference!

The positives for this hotel are many.
The staff on duty were kind, courteous & very friendly. It makes a wonder of a difference to be greeted by someone who looks like they want you there!
The deluxe room we stayed in (#514) was more like a suite, with lovely views over the city.
Despite not having a bath, it was spacious & incredibly comfortable.
Large flat screen t.v with at least 2 English speaking channels & a kettle in the room, extra blankets, sofa & huge work desk area were included.

The breakfast (handily starting at 6 a.m, for those like us with an early flight) was quite simply excellent. It offered a vast array of choice & good quality breakfast items.
Included in the price of the booking, this offered fantastic value.

The down side is that the hotel suffers noise problems. Despite being on the 5th floor, the noise from outside was still apparent.
It also lacks air conditioning, which would have been a nightmare, had the weather been any warmer.

Those 2 things made me knock a point off, as I found it difficult to sleep because of the heat & the noise.

We spend a night at this hotel, only one block from the train station and two minutes walk from the city center. The staff was very kind and helpful, the rooms are quite big and very comfortable, with a tea set. There is a coffee machine on the first floor and the breakfast is very good. The price is okay. It is really worth what you pay, which is not much.

First I want to warn people that this hotel is on a very busy street and quite noisy. I can sleep through most everything, but I'll admit it was difficult in this hotel. My companion wore earplugs.

Aside from that, it is a great hotel. We were here during a heat-wave and our room had no AC. They provided a fan, but it was still quite warm.

The hotel staff is wonderful! The front desk was very helpful with my numerous questions (e.g. best Doner stand, how to make appointments at the Badehaus, where is the grocery, do we need reservations for this or that restaurant, etc), and everyone, including the housekeeping staff, speaks impeccable English. They were patient with my German, and were very kind when I just gave up and switched to English.

The breakfast buffet is extensive and very very tasty. Coffee is at every table with sugar, sweetener and real cream. The buffet included all kinds of breads and rolls, cold cuts, dried meat, cheeses, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, other veg, teas, cakes, chocolate cakes, about 10 different kinds of cereals including house and several different kinds of muesli and spelt, fresh fruit, fruit salad in syrup (likely canned), yogurts, cold milk, and many different kinds of juices (multi-fruit, tomato, orange, apple, etc...). Sausages, bacon, and scrambled eggs on all days except Thursday (meat-free day-- had tofusausages and no cold-cuts), and waitstaff came to the table every morning to ask if you'd like a boiled (hard or soft) egg. Great way to start the day. The breakfast is included in the room price, and I made sure to partake every day.

The rooms are a decent size for European rooms (I'd been in Paris the week before, so it seemed enormous), and incredibly clean. (The housekeeping staff is very nice and thorough-- even folded my PJs that I left crumpled on my bed one morning.) Our room had a small TV-- got 2 English channels: CNN & BBC news; 3 arabic channels, and several German channels. Also had MTV which was sometimes in English, sometimes in German. Our king-size bed was actually 2 twin mattresses on a king frame-- so there was a space in between. 2 large feather pillows, 2 twin feather comforters, and an extra non-feather blanket in the wardrobe (also had 10 wooden hangers-- very nice since we had business attire to hang). Many wall outlets, and free wifi-- ask at the front desk for the code. It is not a secure network, so I do not suggest banking and such, but very good for e-mail and looking up info on the area.

I would stay here again for the cleanliness, breakfast, and amazing staff. I would probably request a room off the street, though, because of the noise. Any try not to travel during an unusual heat-wave next time.

I can't comment on the price because it was part of a conference package. Balancing out the wonderful service with the noise, however, I think 100-125Euros would be reasonable.
