I have been staying at this hotel fairly regularly over the last 3-4 years and have seen it slide from reasonably priced mediocrity to overpriced terribleness.
Yeah, sure, it suffers from the same problems that you get in ANY hotel in Germany- small towels in the bathroom, uncomfortable beds, strange choice of furniture in the rooms; but the Fruehlings just adds something else to single it out amongst Braunschweig's rubbish hotels.
Whether it's the double doors on the rooms (one opening inwards into the room, one opening out into the corridor) or the total soul-less-ness of the whole place (it feels like an institution), the Fruehlings is not somewhere I can ever feel comfortable in.
And it's not even that cheap. It used to be (and it used to have free internet)- but not any more. If you want a decent night's sleep in Braunschweig- stay away from this place.
