Breakfast Poor Room facilities and bad Smell

The hotel staffs were friendly. Although some of them couldn't speak in English well (or at all), they somehow helped me kindly. There were neither an air conditioner nor a refrigerator. I could only use a small fan in the room.

The waiter was very courteous and kind and waited for me till late in the evening despite my delayed arrival. The room was clean. The room was pretty austere. Even if it was very calm and clean I felt disappointed by the style there, especially as I had read the rooms have been recently refurbished. The hotel is among residential blocks and although I didn't explore the surroundings it seems far out of downtown (but this has to be checked).

Central location (about 5-10 minutes stroll to city centre); secure underground parking; excellent breakfast; reception/desk staff on 24/7.

The proprietor was more than helpful and cheerful. Nice touch to have chocolates on the pillow and helpful to have soap/shower gel in the bathroom! The room and bathroom was clean and well presented.Although small, it was adequate for an overnight stay. Parking was available in underground carpark for Euros 3 for the night, which made us feel happy to leave luggage and other stuff in the car. Good location: the hotel was only minutes from the tram stop and the River Saar and an easy (flat)walk (20 mins) to the town, which had plenty of shopping and eating facilities.Lift available although cramped for 2 with luggage! Not mentioned tp proprietor as it was only an overnight stop, but whilst the linen was clean, the quilt and pillows were feather with a 'used odour'. The Television had no english-speaking channels, which would not be enough on a longer stay,even if only cnn/bbc World Service.

It was close to the river and town centre.The bed and sheets were fine. I found it hard to locate the hotel - it is very easy to walk past. It was also expensive, seeing that the toiket and shower were shared. I was not over-keen on the vampirish painting of Kate Bush in my room.

Overall good impression

Excellent service at this hotel. We felt welcome. The hotel is situated in a quiet residential area. The room was very clean and neat. Clean towels in the en-suite shower room. The continental buffet breakfast was good, varied and nutritious. Parking was in the street but gave us no problem. It was a short drive to the city centre.
