Costing €166.95 for a one-night, one-guest stay(!), the hotel did offer some adventure. To start with, finding the place was a quest. Located on the 2nd floor of an appartement bloc, the hotel doesn't feature any signs indicating its existence. At the entrance you are welcomed by the building's concierge, who - with the charm of a high-security prison guard - buzz opens a door leading to the lifts. No other person is in sight; the electronic check-in goes smoothly. The room is essentially an L-shaped corridor terminating in a bed. Uninterrupted windows along two walls open onto a busy thoroughfare. A 70s-style concrete high-rises to the right and a busy two-level parking lot to the left complement the view. If you think to settle in for a good night's sleep, you are in for a surprise as the busy traffic (3 lanes in each direction + a tram in the middle) produces a remarkable amount of unrelenting noise. The room is clean (which explains two stars), but the service in non-existent. Is there a breakfast? (For this price, it better be!) You wouldn't know as there is no-one there to ask. A guest brochure in the room is in German (is Frűhstűck the magic word?), but I guess the foreigners are not expected to bother having breakfast. Incongruously, there is a detailed instruction in English on how to operate the telly, which doesn't have a single non-German speaking channel (out of boredom I checked them all). This is an achievement in itself for a satellite TV network.In summary, you must be seriously desperate to stay at this place. Please avoid it.
