Our group (8 persons) booked 4 double rooms using bookin.com Four days before visiting the hotel, I send e-mail to the hotel and asked - is the everething OK with our reservation and they said, that OK. When we came to hotel, manager said, that she hasn't information about our reservation and every double rooms are full. As it was 9 p.m. and we didn't want find new hotel, we asked about single rooms, manager said - "single rooms we have" and we have agreed that married couples have borrowed single rooms ana I and my friend stay in triple. But the manager has suggested to pay to us a greater total cost than if we were settled according to our order.We have declared, that as on their fault there was such situation, therefore they on the contrary should us give the discount as 3 married couples test inconveniences, living in a single room with a small bed. After long discussions with the chief, the manager all the same has given on the discount

This hotel was clean, in a good location, and good value but it left a little to be desired. It felt very much like a dormitory. The noise from the street is a little much, but other than that, no real complaints. The good thing was, unlike many of the hotels in Europe, the reception desk is staffed 24 hours/day and they were very helpful with directions and getting us a cab when we needed.

It was perfect for our stay during the world cup because it was in a major city, near the train station, cheap & clean! I would recommend if you're on a budget.

I stayed here when visiting a trade show at the Messe. Although it's not as convenient to travel there from here as other places I've stayed (you have to take a tram, then the U-bahn), it is convenient in other ways.
It is a basic accomodation, but very clean and newly refurbed. Good mattress, good quality duvet and pillow. Also the usual satellite tv and pay per view movies. I liked the safe which was big enough for my laptop but it does cost 1 euro a go!
No minibar but this really isn't an issue - they provide a large bottle of fizzy water, there is a supermarket almost next door and in the side streets either side of the block there are some late night stores.
There is no hotel restaurant, but again, this really isn't an issue - either side of the hotel there are some excellent Chinese, Thai and Italian takeaways - one night I had a takeaway in my room. You will need cutlery though as the takeaway I went to didn't provide it.
Breakfast is standard German fodder - meat, cold cuts, cheese, some cooked items, cereals, yoghurt, juice. Perfectly adequate.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
The only downside I can think of is that some rooms (i.e. mine) face the very busy road and there is no aircon meaning you may have to leave the window open and wear earplugs (I came prepared). When I say this road is noisy, I mean REALLY NOISY!
The room was quite hot when I was there (20-22 September) so it could be a bit uncomfortable in the summer.
All in all, good value - would book again.
