Gartenhotel Gabriel

Good price, nice people on reception, breakfast perfectly adequate, location on a well served bus route, a less-than-ten minute ride to the centre. Recommended for the more economically minded traveller.

Let's start with the positive, because that's short: the garden. Except this I can't find anything good. The room was super small, the bathroom even smaller, the shower is for dwarfs. No chance you could turn around inside, and I'm quite slim. Pillow? One, small and thin. Cover? Only a blanket because it is summer? No a/c, but it has a ventilator. If you want to use it, there's only one power plug, which means you can't charge your phone at the same time, which would be annoying, but don't worry, the WiFi Internet doesn't work as well, so you might not need it. When I complained at the reception he looked at me and said, and only told me that this is an external problem. No call to the provider, nothing. He let me understand that this happens often, so no use. The breakfast had a rather bigger choice, but then again, when you find the egg shells of the previous user on your plate, you might not want eat too much.

Getting to the hotel from the central station was a breeze. Lookout for the name as the sign outside only says Hotel Gabriel though. Staff wrote us before arriving to make sure things were fine and throughout our stay they were very kind! The buffet breakfast was great with a good variety of options to choose from, the eggs were delicious. You also have the option to have your breakfast outside at the garden, thus the hotel name ;) As for the facility, there's an elevator to help you get upstairs and your room will be a nice, quiet and clean room. Moving around from and to the hotel was easy enough and the neighborhood is great, we felt safe at all times. Definitely you will have a great time if you decide to stay in this hotel.

The hotel is nothing but a motel. Don’t understand why and how it was ranked as a 3-star hotel. The condition is not good. The attitude of front desk staff is terrible.
