HORRIBLE!
People on the reception are rude and they can laugh at your face! The internet is very slow, apparently in 4 star hotel you need to pay for a fast WiFi. The worst 4 star hotel I’ve ever been to. There is never a manager in this hotel. And when you ask for one, he/she is in Düsseldorf and it is impossible to reach this manager via phone call. And when you leave the staff is laughing behind your back. Don’t recommend it! The food in the hotel is also not the best. Guys working in the kitchen are great! But that’s all.
Nice hotel
We stayed here as part of a medicos rehabilitation.we are from the USA and they tried to take care of our every need very nice.the program there is very good.the hotel is very clean.the shuttle train is neat to buar
Perfect for a family stay
We had this hotel as a stop-over on the way, driving on vacations. It was so good, that we stopped there on the way back too. With 2 adults and 4 kids, we were giving the adjoining rooms, so that was very convenient for us. The hotel is new, nice rooms and exceptional service. We used the restaurant for Breakfast, it was good. We did dinner there one night as well, excellent. Can highly recommend for family and business alike.
No swimming pool but our stay was still great!
It was our first time to book this hotel, as this was the closest hotel to the place of the event we attended to. Overall, it did not disappoint us and we actually loved our stay in this hotel even though they don’t have swimming pool, which is always a requirement if we are booking one :-( If someone’s gonna ask me what’s outstanding during our stay — I think, the consistency in the hotel’s interior from their lobby, reception, corridor and room. The only thing that I didn’t like — there’s no complimentary coffee and tea in the room :-( For detailed review of the hotel, please see below: Room: We were given a corner room, which offers two different views, so this was already a plus. The room was still a bit spacious even they have added an extra bed for our son. The interior was actually great and bit different from the hotels we stayed in. Of course, the rest were the normal things you can see in a hotel, nothing really special (king size bed, lamps, chair, office table…). But unlike other hotels, the room does not have a mini bar but it still has a mini fridge (so use this instead and buy your drinks outside) and it also doesn’t have complimentary tea and coffee — which was disappointing because I like having late coffee though :-( It has free internet if you are a Marriott Rewards member regardless of your membership level, but I am not actually sure if the connection was fast as I haven’t used it. Amenities: The hotel has fitness centre and sauna situated on the 11th floor and they offer free towels in the area, thus, no need to bring your room towel. I think, there is also ice vending machine on the corridor in every floor. Breakfast: Aside from the usual breakfast menu among the hotels in Europe, at least in this hotel, they offer pancakes and fried potatoes with cheese filling. Staffs/Customer Service: The front desk staffs were actually accommodating and friendly. Thanks for the free candies on the reception desk which my son actually liked. The staffs in the bar were commendable as for every 10 or 15 minutes, they would ask you if everything is okay and if we are doing fine. Not sure if this was because we’re the only customers that night :-| Location/Transportation: Can’t say much on this because we rented a car when we stayed in this hotel. But when it comes to nearby restaurants (aside from their own in-house restaurant), I can’t see much. You need to drive a bit, around 3 km. If you have a car, don’t worry about where to park as you can park for free off site as the hotel is situated near the arena. What went bad or not so good? • Room: - It would have been better if they have the complimentary coffee and tea. - I think the bathroom is a bit smaller - As swimming pool is something that we are always looking for, I just hope that they have one :-|
Breakfast buffet
Visiting family - room was typical hotel room with a chair and desk. This was breakfast buffet with the room. Skipped lunch since there was so much food. Would recommend to stay here in the future and get the buffet.
