City Hotel by Celina in Hagen

ok

Overall, the accommodation was OK for an overnight stay. On arrival, you were told to hand in your room key when you leave the hotel. However, this seems unsafe, as there is no safe in the single room. The reception was not manned in the evening when I returned to the hotel and wanted my room key back. There was no notice at the reception and the keys were freely accessible, only a camera on the ceiling would identify an unauthorized person, but would not prevent entry.
The room doors do not appear to be fire-proof and must always be locked, as the door does not close automatically from the outside.
In addition, the room faced the street, and it was a bit louder at night with the window open. The window had to be left open because otherwise it was too warm in the room. In addition, the hotel lights were on directly next to the window on the outside wall, which made it very bright at night and prevented you from sleeping.
Sleeping was made even more difficult by a very hard, large pillow, and my ears hurt after a short time. The second, smaller pillow was softer, but too thin. The single bed is less than 2m long and there is a chest of drawers at the foot of the bed, which makes it impossible to stretch your legs.
The breakfast was OK, but unfortunately there were no whole grain alternatives (rolls)

We enjoyed the cosmopolitan location and the wonderful variety of Turkish restaurants in the area.

Very old fashioned. Cold room, heating was turned off. Directly in Hagen's inner city. Very noisy. You can basically hear the people on the street talking if you are on first floor. Breakfast room on 5th floor, only accessible by stairs since elevator only goes to 4th.

Overall ok but too expensive IMO
