Nice stay with good but pricey breakfast

Didn’t like self-check-in. Typing personal info on a kiosk outside on a sidewalk is not safe. Parking was “iffy” -if you could find a park place. Room was very clean & having a an actual wash cloth with the towels was great! Missed not having a small refrigerator in room

An ok stay but we didnt see any staff during our stay as the reception has very limited hours (we stayed Friday-Sunday) so it felt quite anonymous. Other guests were clearly smoking in the communal areas as there was an unpleasantly strong smell of smoke in the corridor outside our room.

Not the view we were expecting…

Not many options in the area. Flooring is just stuck on and slippery! Had to ask them to make it safer to walk on w/ quick reclean. No AC, loud construction out of window. The plus is that they have a cute bar/snack room downstairs.

Ich habe mit meiner Frau 5 Tage im Hotel Rubus gewohnt. Es war alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit, lediglich der Wasserhahn am Waschbecken hat nur ganz schwer funktioniert, was ich an der Rezeption reklamiert habe. Leider konnte der Schaden während meines Aufenthalts nicht repariert werden.Ansonsten war alles o.K., und ich werde auch gerne wiederkommen.
