Reviewed May 11, 2026Location is great
The rooms facing the road are extremely noisy from traffic. I noticed it immediately after checking in, before I had even unpacked. I went to the front desk to ask if it was possible to move rooms, but was told that the garden-facing rooms would not be much better because road works would supposedly begin at 7am, even on a Sunday, and she said she did not want me to be woken up by that instead. Ironically, I was still woken up at 4:30am on Sunday morning by what sounded like drunk people loudly talking and laughing outside. Since the front desk staff member was not working again until 12pm, I ended up calling the sister hotel instead, and they happily arranged a room change for me straight away, which made it even more frustrating that this could apparently have been resolved much earlier. To be honest, after living in New Zealand for more than five years, I found the explanation about Sunday road works difficult to believe. The response felt dismissive rather than genuinely helpful.

There were very loud road works happening right outside our window which shook the whole building.

I would have address this upon check out however it was very rare you would find a staff member on reception.

Reviewed Mar 24, 2026Gutes Stadthotel für 1-2 Nächte. Besonderer Vorteil ist das beste Restaurant der Stadt, das gegenüber in der alten Feuerwehrwache ist.
Die Rezeption ist nur zw. 12 und 18:00h besetzt. In Zeiten, in der Personal notwendig wäre, beim Checkout oder abends mit der überalterten Klimaanlage, ist niemand zu erreichen. Für den relativ hohen Preis ist das nicht ausreichend Service. Die Parksituation im Hof ist katastrophal……eng, kaum einzuparken.

The cleanliness of the linen was appalling! The towels that were provided had clearly been used and not washed which left an extremely strong body odour stench. I towel dry from the waist, legs then upper body and it wasn't until I got to my upper body when I noticed this smell, which meant I had to go and wash myself again. I ended up using the bathmat and face towel to dry my body which was not ideal whatsoever.
