It gets poor rating on service as the staff at the breakfast place called Serafina is downright nasty.

Breakfast is served at the neighboring Italian restaurant; it's simple but adequate, though the selection could be larger by German standards.

Complaints the hotel left unresolved8 of 2951 in 37 reviews
They refused to help, showed no concern at all, and simply told me to take it up with Booking.com instead of addressing it themselves.
Google, July 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
We complained and asked for help as we weren’t able to sleep, it took 4 calls to the front desk and they assumed we didn’t set the settings correctly so they reset it and told us to wait 15 minutes, it continued to blow out hot air and after calling no one came back to fix it.

There was a bit of construction outside my window, but I managed to avoid the noise, so it didn’t impact my stay too much.

Unexpected charges and refunds6 of 2951 in 49 reviews
The only negative was that they have resort fees and those need to be just added into the overall cost rather than not be transparent.

Something broken in the room5 of 2951 in 59 reviews
Light didn't work, and the bathroom was tiny where you touch the wall while on the toilet.

The only quibble I had is that I couldn't quite close my curtains, they could have used those stick things to help close them, I used my chair to close them enough for privacy.
