Reviews
It was only for one night and Ibis got everything we needed.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
There is a parking garage (€11 per night) available, but since we only parked our car for a brief moment just to unload our luggage, it was a free parking matter. The staff gave us a free ticket.
What I liked:
- the check-in lounge with friendly staff
- large shower cabin
- refill bottle for water
- tea/coffee or even instant noodle cup making
- hairdryer available
- small bar available at the hotel check-in
What I missed:
- hooks at entrance door for coat hanging
