Boardinghouse Landau

It’s noisy at night, and the area outside is always really dirty. People keep blocking the access. How much would it cost to put up a sign saying not to park in front?

My first time staying in a hotel without reception, staff, or cash.

I’d happily book this place again tomorrow. The room was lovely and clean, neatly furnished, and had everything I needed, including a kitchen tucked inside the closet. Check-in and getting the key were both automated. I couldn’t find the garage beneath the hotel, so I parked on the street out front instead. It’s paid parking, with a day pass from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM costing €3. The city center is under a 10-minute walk away, and Aldi and Lidl are about five minutes in the opposite direction. The only downside was that the room felt quite warm, so I switched off the fan and opened the window.

We slept well because the beds were comfortable and nights were fairly quiet. The rooms are plain, but ours was very clean and had enough furniture for a short stay of one or two nights. The location is really handy, near both the station and city center, with cafes and restaurants close by. There’s parking right outside for €3 a day. We barely dealt with staff, though arranging an earlier check-in was easy. The self-check-in machine took a while since you have to enter everything again for each booking, and it doesn’t save your contact details.
