The hotel should be 5 stars, but i would not say. Our room was already very worn. It was also very noisy, because one the road, as well as the other guests in the hallways could hear. Wireless internet was not free in the room, only in the lobby. Breakfast and dinner buffet was very good though. From fish to meat to vegetarian for each taste, cold, warm, fresh, pickled. There was everything! However, you should during dinner mood 8., which one could drink. Have careless a water taken (0.2 liters) and that has me but smooth 4 dollars cost. … read more

The hotel lies at the edge of Chinatown on a lively Crossing. In the surroundings there are a lot of small shops and restaurants in which definitely not English spoken is. The hotel offers a free hotel bus into town to, which several places stops. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is plentiful and good. The Klimaanlagensteuerung is in a panel next to one of the beds accommodated. The Switch in the rooms are somewhat yellowed, but not dirty. It is located on the age of the hotel, but not noticeable is. The hotel and the rooms are … read more

A small note on the edge: the hotel boasts locally with 5 *! It clearly not deserved. We were as a part of a round trip ( part of our honeymoon) for a couple of nights in this hotel accommodated. When checking in was our tour operator told, that it was not possible benefits on the rooms to Bill, which with another demand as misinformation turned out. In Comparison the room we found out, this quite run-down were. Some switches did not work properly ( included the remote control for the air conditioning as I at night had to say) … read more

The hotel is located between Innenstadtbezirken. In the immediate area there are no sights. It is always a short cab ride necessary. But it is quiet in a lively lateral road. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Was pleasant, the doorman us before each taxi a map of the hotel and the number of taxis noted. A downside is, that the Wi-Fi expensive. However there is in the lobby several PC's with free internet. Recommendable are the rooms on the fourth floor, the to the pool beach chairs. This have a direct access to the pool terrace. … read more
