Great Hotel but a room mix up
Overall I had a good stay at the hotel. I booked for two nights in the Panorama Corner room. We arrived late on our first night and they checked us into the wrong room (I think the Sunrise corner room). That room was very small and made the first night uncomfortable. They did fix the issue the next day when I asked at reception, but was slow to provide a working key to move rooms which took time. They did refund part of the fee of the first night to reflect the price difference in rooms, but didn't apologise when I raised the error. The correct room was nice and modern with plenty of space. I did find the hotel difficult to find in the dark. If you travel on public transport it is a short walk, but through a business estate with poor lighting.

Reception service was superb! The staff were helpful and friendly, and even went above and beyond to help us make a call in German since we dont have a local number. Room is value for money, location though not in town, is only 15-20mins away from airport. Only thing to note is that there is no AC since it is an eco friendly hotel but it didnt bother us since it is already autumn

Not warm and comfy
The hotel has unfinished concrete walls and floors. The shower is behind a glass partition, but part of the room! the toilet is separate behind closed doors. The daily cleaning service was mediocre, not cleaning the floors in the bathroom, forgetting to renew the Kleenex and washcloths. The staff was friendly and helpful, but unexperienced. The daily breakfast was excellent as was the restaurant on the premises

In general it was a positive experience, but the room was very different from what we expected. Smaller than regular US hotel rooms, modern, but different setting of bath and toilet… The hotel rooms were on top flors of the building and the first 6-7 floors were offices. The location is far from city center, but public transportation is helpful.

Good for a couple of nights. There is no AC so it can get a bit warm even with the windows open. It's about a 20 min walk from the closest train station but you can bus or tram; you just need to know how. Not a lot of dining nearby if you are there on Sunday.

Liked: Cleanliness
This would be a great hotel for a solo traveler but the room was cramped for a couple. The open shower and bathroom sink make it impossible to have a person showering while the other person is sleeping. I didn't like that there is no refrigerator in the room. The fire alarm went off after midnight and we had to evaluate the building. Communication about what was going on was non-existent. At some point, we were able to climb 11 floors to get back to our room. No apologies at checkout. I would not stay here again.

Great place
The hotel has a great view from the tenth floor and has all the features you'd expect from a quality establishment. You've got to know the person you're staying with very well because the shower is in the bedroom and floor to ceiling windows but it's a funky design that we liked. I wouldn't recommend the place if you have young children as the windows do open. The location is maybe a little quirky being in an industrial area, we were happy though, jumping on the train for 5 minutes and walking the last 15 minutes to get from the city centre.
