It was OK. Apparently, this is one of the cheapest places in the area. Rooms are small but comfortable. Breakfast is OK. The location is good, I think it’s 10 or 15 minutes to all the main attractions. The parking situation is pretty good. Also, you just park in the basement and there’s a door leading right to the hotel.

Excellent stay at Motel One Waidmarkt. Was able to check in as soon as we arrived, room was clean and towels were in good condition. Reception area/ bar modern and clean. Short walk away from the main centre which was fine for where we needed to be.

Great hotel but a bit outside the main city center

Really nice hotel, modern and in a quiet part of the city. It’s a bit of a walk from the train station especially with luggage but doable. My room was clean and spacious and included a desk. I would book again.

Friendly staff on arrival. Quick check-in process. Easy to find our room. Room was clean and modern. Quiet, no interruptions in the night. Tea/coffee making facilities would have made the room perfect! We had to get drinks in the bar area. Bar area also had friendly staff. The whole hotel had a nice ambience and was clean. Perfect for a mother/daughter weekend away.

My friends and I very much enjoyed staying one night in this hotel. It’s got some nice decorations and design. Rooms are modern and up to date. Comfortable bedding. A bit disappointed in the breakfast buffet (15,90€ per person) selection and seating area… wouldn’t recommend it. Lounge area for evening drink is nice!

No ventilation in the room. Had a street facing room in the 1st floor- not particularly convenient to open the window to ventilate. Product is basic and adequate. Not designed to spend anytime in the room other than sleep.

Dit hotel is heel basic voor de prijs. Kamer heeft bijvoorbeeld maar 1 prullenbak en is vrij fantasieloos ingericht. De kamer is wel schoon en oogt als nieuw. En deze is zeer geluidsdicht. Het was wel erg warm in de kamer en de airco werkte niet omdat deze in oktober centraal werd uitgezet. Alternatief was het raam openen maar omdat ik aan de straatkant zat kreeg ik dan een hoop verkeerslawaai. Het hotel lijkt niet berekend op de hoeveelheid gasten die ontbijten. Iedereen zit dan overal in de lounge verspreid en er staan lange rijen. Niet relaxed je ochtend starten. Tip: ga dan heel vroeg of heel laat ontbijten.
