    Awkward entry procedure with a key pad that gives no feedback when the buttons are pressed and too much fiddling about.

    Works well for an overnight stay and the car parking seemed safe. Short walk to good bus route into city centre.

    Advert said extra large bed, which it wasn't, second thing no one available to speak and the phone number provided for emergency didn't work. They said that I wasn't saying anything over the phone, but definitely, I was speaking, but I was getting cut short every time. The reason to call was that the security entry system didn't work, saying that it was falsch. With a kid after you, close to midnight waiting, wandering around doors, it's not something to wish for and can be very worrisome. We get in in the end, but they should fix this. Do we recommend the place? Well, yes, it was excellent except for what I described above!

    Almost everything was as described!

    The property was described as having a kitchenette and showed photos of an apartment with a microwave, kettle and kitchen sink. Our apartment was well-equipped and had everything… EXCEPT for the kitchen sink! We had to wash up in the bathroom and get water for use in the kitchen from the bathroom sink. We were expecting a sink in our kitchenette, not just a microwave, kettle and bowls etc. it was also hard to find the correct location for parking (I had to use my non-existent German to ask a local resident where I was supposed to park) and it took as a few minutes to find the correct building (we weren’t in the main house). But after we knew where we were going everything was very smooth and we would stay again!

    The self-check in was explained well and worked without any major hitches. The accommodation was clean, quiet and spacious and well located with a good car park and within an easy 10 minute walk to the main bus route into the city.

    • Large Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Like most facilities we stayed at in Germany, none of the room could sleep more than 2 persons. With a family of 5, this required us to rent 3 rooms. Note for American travellers; German pillows contain very little stuffing and provide no support. However, this is not unique to this facility.

    For those unfamiliar, the 'Boardinghouse' is basically an apartment building with some of the units being used as hotel rooms. The facility was a renovated building next to an old castle and the rooms were modern. The rooms were spacious and clean. The operator provided codes for the front door and rooms prior to our arrival so 'check in' was a breeze.

    Nothing. Location is a little out of centre but we knew that beforehand and meant easier access from motorway

    Clean, roomy and attractive apartment. Particularly appreciated the kettle and coffee maker. Heating warmed the room nicely on a cool evening.

    Getting in the first time was difficult. The code is the reservation code from booking.com. First time ever I had to use the code so it took some time to figure out. The whole system can be a bit better

    Easy access, good for a 1 night stay. Nice room. There was coffee.
