Acceptable stay overall

convenient locationgood lightingprivate bathroomno air conditioninghot roomno fan available
The location was convenient. The tram and bus station were right outside the hotel, so late-night returns felt safe. The common area had good lighting and helpful staff. Each room included its own bathroom and toilet, a definite advantage.
There was no air conditioning in the room and it was hot. Sleeping was hard for the first two nights. I requested a fan at the reception, but none were available.

Convenient Stay Near Ostkreuz

ostkreuz proximitysupermarkets cornerrestaurant areahelpful staff
I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the Ostkreuz train station. It made getting around REALLY easy. Two large supermarkets were just around the corner, so stocking up on essentials was convenient. I found many restaurants in the area with various price points. Staff kept our staff safe and sent it back to us, even though we were nit able to get it back for a long time (charmed!).
The bunkbeds moved quite a bit when someone slept underneath. It caused some minor disturbances.
