"Great stay! Rooms are huge making for a nice place to sit down after a lot of walking. The parcade is fantastic if you are driving in the city.
The only challenge with the large room is that the AC didn’t cool off the bedroom very well just the living area, it is too noisy to open any windows with trams going all night.
The breakfast is fantastic and well worth it.
Overall a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel."
"I had the newer section of the room but i had to drag my suitcases up the stairs after you get out of the elevator and then even worse, i had to drag my suitcases up another spiral staircase to get to my room. Do not stay at this hotel if you have multiple suitcases"
"This hotel is very well located. It is at the center of Augsburg.
The rooms are nice but quite small for a 5 star hotel but very nice and clean. Confortable beds.
The staff at the reception are very nice and willing to help. The concierge not so much. I needed information and advice and she was not responsive. A 5 star hotel needs to have someone better involved in helping the guests."
