This property is exceptionally well presented with everything we could have needed for our stay. Located on the second floor of the property we had garden views with roaming rabbits and birds for nature’s entertainment on one side and street views on the other. It easily sleeps 6 adults with the living room doubling up as a third bedroom. Subway station, bars, shops and restaurants are all just a short walk (300 m) away along tree lined streets. This is a wonderful place to stay and our host was very accommodating and kept in touch with us during our stay updating us with relevant information. Many thanks Allesandro.

From
United Kingdom
It was very comfortable and a great price, close to the Airport as we were getting an early morning flight the next day (2 adults and 4 kids in two rooms) The staff in the hotel and the Brauhaus were fantastic. The lady at check-in arranged a picnic bag for us in the morning as we were leaving the hotel too early to make breakfast, very nice touch. She also arranged a taxi to the airport the next morning which arrived promt at the time we had requested. Note- A walk to the Airport is possible if you are ok with walking, dont have heavy luggage or children in tow! Weissbier in the Brauhuas was fantastic, outside area was great to sit in the evening sun. Note- there is no air-con in the rooms, not a problem for me, but it can be sticky in the German summer when it is 20degC+ at bedtime!

Close to nice places but also great connection to central station and the city center. stayery is always a good pick, if you want to have a bit more private home feel and be independent. the staff was nice and also the Lounge very inviting. they were very verbal on the location and the proximity of the night club and had earplugs placed in the room as well (and excuses everywhere)
