"This is a clean hotel with good service and delicious breakfast! I especially loved having Quark, Skyr, smoothies, and kiwi 🥝 every morning.
I stayed for about 20 days.
A few things bothered me: check-in took an incredibly long time, daily housekeeping was very basic, and the gym wasn't easily accessible. There was no 24-hour staffed fitness club. The gym is on the first floor, but there's no one there...
From 3 PM onwards, there's a huge line, and it's hard to check in quickly. Due to the basic cleaning, sheets aren't changed, and many things are left as they were the day before. Tissues and shampoo weren't replaced for two days, so I used my own. I had to find a time when there were no check-in guests to ask at the counter for refills. It's puzzling why the hairdryer was put back in its bag when it could have been left plugged in, and tissues weren't replaced...
Empty plastic bottles (Pfand bottles) weren't collected, but glass bottles were. I wonder if glass bottles are tipped? I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing or a system, but some items are collected and some aren't.
Update: Regarding the gym
I initially thought the hotel's value for money was questionable given the services, but my opinion changed once I learned how to use the gym and actually used it. I wouldn't have known how to use it without asking... Just looking at the signs, it looked like the gym was on the 1st floor, and you could see it through the glass, but it seemed to be under construction. When I asked at the counter, I found out it was actually outside. I was able to use the highly-rated Fitness First in the adjacent building."
