Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Late evening check-in window — Check-in is only between 17:00 and 21:30, which might be tight if you're arriving later in the evening.
  • Shared toilet in some rooms — The Single Room Shared Toilet option means you may need to use a communal bathroom, which could be a drawback for some.
  • No air conditioning — Rooms rely on natural cooling, which is fine in mild weather but could be uncomfortable during heatwaves.
  • Away from the city centre — The hotel is 6 km from Lanxess Arena and requires a tram ride of 15–20 minutes to reach the central area, so it's not for those who prefer to be in the thick of things.

“As cyclists, we loved being only a short ride from the S-Bahn station. The room was clean and comfortable, with a kettle, hairdryer, and TV. No AC wasn't a problem—the room stayed cool even after a hot day. Shops and bakeries are close by, and the tram to town is a 5-minute walk.”

“Perfect spot near the Axa Campus, just a 12-minute walk away. The tram stop is 2 minutes from the hotel, making it easy to reach the centre in 15–20 minutes. A bakery across the street was handy for breakfast. The place was spotless, including the shared bathroom. Staff were friendly, and self-check-in instructions were clear. Wi-Fi was fast at 60/30 Mbps—great value for money.”
