Bill, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast was great and staff were pleasant. Not sure if my room was just not recently renovated and others are, but could use a fresh coat of paint. Shower curtain stained, fabric materials showing wear. The bed was quite hard but luckily lots of pillows to make it work. Area convenient in university area, nice lookout area nearby to see the town from above.

Wonderful service, spotless room & outstanding breakfast. Had to leave at 6am on checkout day & they prepared and left a big to-go breakfast for us to take along on the train. Easy transport via trams. Would definitely stay there again.

No air conditioning!

Very hot room, no ac. Everything else was fine but it's rough when Europe is having a heat spell.

Nice hotel in a nice area. Very clean. Amazing Italian restaurant and amazing stuff. It is missing a mini-bar (small fridge) and AC.
mariana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

First off, the hotel is now the Plattendorf, not the 'Design'. Orbitz: you need to let them change it. A fair walk from the HB, the room was fine. The Italian restaurant attached has great Italian food. All in all a fine hotel (no free breakfast...)
