West Trail

Good central location for business and highways in the area. The room is spacious, if quite dated. A good breakfast, but a bit expensive. As usual for most German properties, it is much too warm in the rooms, with no options for cooling - it must be unbearable in the summer in the southwest facing room I had. The staff was welcoming and professional.

Hotel was a quick walk from the S-bahn stop, but wish my navigation would have shown me the sidewalk route vs. the cobblestone route when I had my luggage. Unfortunately never got to take advantage of the sauna, which is a big reason for booking here; it closed at 9 and you have to give them 30 mins. notice to heat it up. Wished it were 24 hrs or open a bit later as this was hard to time around dinners, unless you go before and then shower again, but I wanted to stay out touring. Nobody mans the reception desk at night; you are given access to the front door. Even as a solo traveler, didn't feel unsafe. Slept in and missed the breakfasts I had paid for, and on the last day, had an early flight, so Nicoletta was kind enough to pack me a breakfast to go-with a handwritten note- very thoughtful! Staff at front desk patient in maneuvering with language barriers and finding alternate methods to communicate with me. Room was a bit tight, but beautiful, clean, and served my needs. There was a previous review about stained carpeting, which I also had in my room, but given the size and rolling your luggage in, understandable. Hotel was quiet. If staying out later as I did, it's about a 10-15 min. walk toward the center of old town to reach restaurants, etc. that are open later, but given it's a pedestrian zone, it's a straight walk, there were always people about, and always felt safe. Police cars were always riding up and down scanning around. Nice stay!

Good hotel with decent and clean rooms. Location is a pain with cases on public transport being a chore to get to/from metro station and too far to walk from the bahnhof. Skipped breakfast as it was too expensive an used nearby cafes.
