Pension Am Ostbahnhof

Top!

The kitchen had everything I needed, including a coffee machine, kettle, toaster, and large fridge. For the price, getting a two-room apartment for one night is pretty rare. It was clean, tidy, and well furnished. I'll definitely come back. 👍

The shared kitchen was okay and usable, but the room itself made the stay frustrating. I had first booked two nights in a basic room, then reserved a room with a kitchenette for five nights. Check-in is at the arcade on the ground floor, and the woman there didn't know much about the hotel or how things worked. Even though I'd been told a room was available, I arrived to find it was apparently overbooked. I was given a double room at the single-room price instead. I couldn't use the TV because it was fixed in its wall bracket and wouldn't turn, or kept swinging back. There was no hot water after 10 p.m., apparently to save costs. The housekeeper was already moving around the hotel in the morning before guests had even left. Luckily I worked all day, but it wasn't possible to enjoy relaxing in the room after work. In the end, once was enough for me.

The booking went smoothly, and the room was cleaned every day. Still, the worn, simply furnished rooms need work. The bathroom grout badly needs replacing, and there was already some mold. The beds were cramped, and street noise made it hard to sleep, especially in a street-facing room when a train went by every half hour. At €45 for a night, it wasn't worth it to me. I'd say €35 at most. Pictures to follow.
