Good

The room's carpet had disgusting stains, our room was not cleaned for one night of our stay after we had put up the request clean sign, the shower curtain was short and did not keep the water in the shower, and the TV was positioned so as to be almost impossible to view from the bed.

Room was clean but had a little problem with the heat. The breakfast was good. The location was very good, close to the rail station and the Christmas Market!
Very friendly staff. Breakfast good. Good location.

Staff was very helpful and kind, common spaces are very nice, but the room was extremely old. I've stayed in other rooms at this hotel, and this section (249 area) is in desperate need of a renovation and update to match the rest of the hotel.
Great location. Bad timing stay. Overall recommen.
Nice stay. We picked again because of the parking. We arrived to find that it was undergoing repairs and not available to us. Inconvenient and also more expensive to park at the public space. The bed was not so comfortable this stay…
Also a workman with very strong body odor used the elevator- it was so strong that we exited immediately and only used elevator when checking out to get our luggage down.
The people were friendly and the breakfast was lovely. We will stay again.

Good location and breakfast but quite noisy. Room was clean with basic amenities. Decent for a short stay.
A good location in the central part of Ulm with good access to the train station and walkable to the center of the city. Construction near the entrance made finding the hotel a bit difficult at first. The staff was helpful and experience was good.
Got to the hotel at check in time but was then asked to wait until shift change to check in 15 minutes later. Once checked in we went to our room which was very dingy with stains all over the carpet. We had booked a double bed but the room had 2 singles which could not be joined. We went back to the front desk where they apologized and said they had given us the wrong room. We were then given a room with a double bed. Better than the first but still a bit dingy.

Not like the picture
The hotel is ideally situated right in the centre of town. The hotel lobby is quite stylish however the room we were given was nothing like the one in the picture. It was a corner room with very basic fittings, an old fashioned corner bath, the shower was a hand held shower head in the bath and the bath fittings were rusty. That’s said it was a powerful shower!
Booked a room for 2 nights with a double bed at a cost of £353, ended up with a second floor room, 2 small single beds, dirty marks on the carpet, shower slide bar with the handset installed incorrectly meaning that you have to hold the handset all the time when showering.
Underground parking helpful, staff were fine just got an overpriced tired room.
The hotel is a 10 minutes walk from the railway station. It's a modern building situated in a quiet area.
We stayed on 2 occasions in the hotel and both rooms we had were spacious, clean and comfortable.
It is very easy to walk to the centre of Ulm. There are plenty of restaurants.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
