The location was ideal. It is on the main square and only a short walk from the large mall at Limbeckerplatz, the Main train station, and just around the corner to Hirschlandplatz subway. Despite this, I felt like my room on the 7th floor was very quiet and had a nice urban view toward the station. Breakfast was decent, standard German fare. Breads, spreads, cheese, salami, cereal, and hardboiled eggs. I would have liked a few more fruit options than just the big bowl of mixed fruit, but it was fine. The entire lobby even into the bar area was available to sit, so you didn't have to be too close to anyone else. Beds were a bit stiff for my case, but not super hard. Two sizes of pillows were nice. Bathroom was nicely functional even at the small size. There was a desk that worked well for evening laptop work. Really nice shelves to the ceiling next to the bed.
