This is a case of -- you get what you pay for. The hotel is basic, we did not try the breakfast so can't comment on that, there is a small lobby where people seem to gather for beer sold at the front desk, the elevators can get overwhelmed at "rush hours" so that the waits are too much and you walk down the stairs. But it does have a secure bike storage facility in the basement. The rooms are also basic, you essentially store everything in your luggage because there is limited storage in the room, the bathroom/shower are OK but the shower floods if you run it for too long. And there is no cleaning or bed making. However, the location for access to the aldt schtadt could not be better, plus loads of great restaurants in the immediate neighborhood. Particularly recommend India Palace which is a block to the east. If you are slumming it on a bike trip, as we were, it will be fine. But if you have a sensitive spouse looking for creature comforts, take a pass.
