No ventilation in the room. Had a street facing room in the 1st floor- not particularly convenient to open the window to ventilate. Product is basic and adequate. Not designed to spend anytime in the room other than sleep.

Excellent stay

Excellent stay at Motel One Waidmarkt. Was able to check in as soon as we arrived, room was clean and towels were in good condition. Reception area/ bar modern and clean. Short walk away from the main centre which was fine for where we needed to be.

Friendly staff on arrival. Quick check-in process. Easy to find our room. Room was clean and modern. Quiet, no interruptions in the night. Tea/coffee making facilities would have made the room perfect! We had to get drinks in the bar area. Bar area also had friendly staff. The whole hotel had a nice ambience and was clean. Perfect for a mother/daughter weekend away.

Hotel Check-In Slow

Slow check in experience. Hotels.com/Expedia references not on hotel system. Process took 40 minutes to check in. Could only pay at hotel. Not a great experience. Hotel close to centre and fine.
