Novum Select Ostbahnhorf

Hotel was very clean and the staff were lovely. The hotel room was very big and I really liked it. Strangely the shower was directly next to the bed so if you are visiting with someone else in the room that isn't close to you then it'll be quite awkward if you decided to have a shower then. There was also a fridge with some beverages as well as some food I looked around for any payments but I couldn't see any and helped my self to drinks. It was only when I noticed a very small label hidden away on top of the fridge did I notice the extortionate prices that I ended up paying.

Not a bad hotel, however interior of the rooms is bit worn out and there's no air conditioning in the rooms. I was fine but if it would have been summer and 30+ C out there.. would have been definitely an issue. Pillows were bit flat but it's pretty common for the hotels I suppose. From the positive side all the reception and cleaning staff were most polite and helpful during my 5 day stay I had not a single bad encounter with anyone (seen different opinions so just writing it down). Rooms were clean. Hotel itself was very quiet. Train station is very close - around 300 meters. Room was more spacious than I expected, coffee machine in my room was a positive suprise as well.

The room, location and staff were all great. Breakfast was average though. The room key supplied could not be placed next to a mobile otherwise it stops working. I find this to be quite stupid and super inconvenient. Never had to do this at hotels outside of Berlin anywhere in the world I've been. They should improve this.
