Nie wieder! Das Wort hygienische Standards ist hier offenbar ein Fremdwort. Sehr, sehr enttäuschend. Die Personalplanung ist mir völlig unverständlich: Eine Person übernimmt gleichzeitig Housekeeping, Service und Küche, während zwei Herren an der Rezeption den ganzen Morgen miteinander plaudern.

A good hotel for traveling

Room was ok. In need of some refurbishment. There is also the constant sound of water running in the pipes. Opposite the Train station and in an old building. An excellent location for travel around. A very good breakfast and later checkout.

Hotelrechnung erst nach Diskussionen

Ich wollte eine Rechnung vom Hotel Ruf und hatte das bei der Online-Buchung über Hotels.com auch ausgewählt, doch sagte mir das Hotel vor Ort, das sei nicht möglich. Im Nachhinein hatte ich mich an Hotels.com gewandt, die dann dafür gesorgt hatten, dass mir das Hotel Ruf noch die Rechnung geschickt hat. Den Zeitaufwand und die Diskussionen hätte ich mir gerne erspart.

Of course I really appreciate the personality of the staff. Especially Aaliah taking Care of breakfast, Madi giving me all the information I need in reception and for Example Rita Riffel helps me getting Letter kuverts without window in Sunday outside. (Give me Tip where incan buy) All of 'em in a very friendly Professional Art of communication. I'll be back! 😉

Wen das Wort wen nicht wär.

Das Personal wahr sehr freundlich und versuchte das besste zu machen. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und gross. Doch der lärm führte dazu das ich keine Nacht mehr als 3h am stück schlaffen konnte. Frühstück wahr ganz OK. Zimmer reinigung wahr nach trinkgeld immer sehr Sauber. Die Gänge wahren eckelhaft. Es hätte undefinierbare Flecken. Es hatt im Treppenhaus immer gestunken. Es könnte ein schönes Hotel sein,wen es jemand wirklich kümmern würde
