The price was right on this hotel, and to be honest the room was fairly large for Europe and very clean. Great location as well - walking distance from a major train station and many sights.

However, be warned! There is absolutely NO air conditioning to speak of in these rooms, nor did I see any way to control the radiators. I understand that it doesn't normally get extremely hot in this area and that most European hotels don't have A/C as we Americans know it, but all we had by way of keeping the room "cool" was a small desktop-style fan provided by the hotel. The windows did open (in fact, two of them opened very wide and there was a privacy screen) but this doesn't do much good at night as there is an extremely loud bar basically directly under the hotel. Both nights of our stay it stayed open and loud until 5 AM. We had to shut the windows to [somewhat] stifle the noise, but then it of course became unbearably hot in the room even though it was only in the 60s outside and we had the little fan.

Basically, if you're looking to get a good night's sleep I certainly can't suggest staying here in the summer. If there actually is a way of controlling the heat in the rooms in the winter it may not be as bad, as I'm guessing not so many people would be hanging around outside the bar...but you'll still hear/feel the thumping of the music :-/

Everything went very well with Scala. Good Hotel, reasonable price.Location is the best.No complaints at all. See you again.

We stayed in the Hotel for 3 nights.Two nights on an early prepaid basis and one on B/W points.
It was a nice gesture to include breakfasts to the free room.
We booked this Hotel because it is minutes from the Zeil and very central.
We stayed on the fifth floor in a so called comfortable room which is typical to all
rooms from the fifth to the eights.
the room is smartly planned as hollows are used for cloth hanging,shelves and safe
and to my opinion and experience is adequate for two persons for few days stay.
The same goes for the bathroom.
The decor in the room is nothing to write about and the bede were too soft to our taste.
Cleaning was OK but we did not like the show of dirty towels and linen which were pilled on the floor of each door in our floor.A use of a trolley would have been much nicer.
The breakfast is at extra charge to the room and cost 14E p/p and with wide variety
but it lacks choice of yougorts.
The added value of this Hotel is the reception staff.
Mrs Buttner the morning manageress on duty and Mrs Turkovitz on the evening shift were very helpful and attentive to us ond other guests from various naionalities with language barrier.

As an extra gesture we were allowed to stay until late in the evening because of the
aircraft delay.
This note may serve as an aswer to the reviewer of March 29.

I never had a double room which was so tiny! As was the bathroom, although bath cubboard would be more appropriate. The single beds were very narrow. A friend of mine had a single room, equally small but with a double bed and a bigger bathroom. Yet the location of the hotel was very central and yet in a quiet street in the old part of town, while old means here new. The breakfast (for 14,- Euro pp), was more than adequate. The girls down at the lobby were very nice, so why complain!
