Fine

Completely fine - my room was fine for INE person (the bathroom / shower had glass walls so could be weird if you are sharing the space with someone. TV is impossible to manage. Only German channels. Ah, no AC in my room.

Waren für eine Nacht im Hotel ohne Frühstück aufgrund eines Konzertbesuches. Im Hotel war alles sauber, die Ausstattung wirkt modern ist aber schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Man sieht das es schon benutzt wurde. Für eine Nacht vollkommen in Ordnung

Im Wandel

Seit Jahren komme ich regelmäßig in das Smartcity. Gab es am Anfang noch ein Wasser gratis und Pralinen als Betthupferl, so fällt dieses auch weg. Gerade nach einer Reise möchte man etwas trinken. Es ist für mich tatsächlich ein Kriterium. Ich möchte keinen Bonbon auf dem Kopfkissen. Ist eher peinlich. Dann eher nichts. Es gibt weder Kaffee Tee Zubereitung, noch halt ein Wasser. Sehr schade. Daher nur 4 Sterne und da es keinen Kühlschrank gibt.

keine 4 Sterne verdient u nd überteuert

der einzige Fahrstuhl war mindestens 2 tage defekt ,dies soll laut anderen Hotelgästen öfters vorkommen, da der Fahrstuhl sich im Altbau befindet u nd abgerissen werden sollte.die klim aanalge wird zentral vom Hotel gesteuert und kühlt im Hochsomme die Zimmer nur auf 25,5 grad runter..die Einzelzimmer haben keine Kofferablage und kein kleiderschrank und auch keine kühlschrank

Service sehr gut, sehr freundlich. Zimmer modern gestaltet, sehr wohl sieht man dem Hotel von außen und in der Struktur seine Bauzeit an. Einziges Manko: sehr hellhörig. Wer damit klar kommt: uneingeschränkte Empfehlung, erst recht bei dem Preis
