We stayed at the Friendly Cityhotel Oktopus as a stop over on a long drive across Europe. We were towing a long glider trailer so parking was an issue. Some weeks before our journey, I e-mailed the hotel to ask if they could provide parking for a car towing a ten metre trailer. I got no response. Looking at Google maps, I could see that there was parking alongside the site so I went ahead and booked. When we arrived at the hotel, we parked by mistake in the cul de sac outside the front of the hotel. That presented a problem in turning the trailer. We found that the reception staff were polite and efficient but failed to go that extra mile. Eventually we parked on the school bus stop adjacent to the hotel. The school busses only run in the weekdays and we were for a Saturday night only. I had to ask for a ticket from the reception to park the car. None was offered. There was no restaurant open so we went down the road to a Vietnamese restaurant. I fancied a beer when I got back to the hotel but was firmly told that the bar closes at ten. The lady who was the night porter would not sell a drink. Again, not impressed. The room itself was a little strange. The double bed was extremely comfortable but was placed up against a wall so the person on the left of the bed had to crawl over the person on the right if they needed the loo or whatever in the night. Not ideal. Breakfast was okay with face coverings rigorously enforced. Check out was efficient and as expected. Would I stay there again? Very probably not. There was nothing actually terrible about the place but we both felt that they did the absolute minimum for their visitors.

First time it is unusual for ”traditional” people like me when there is no reception. But check-in has also worked smoothly without a smartphone. You get a beautiful and very reasonable room for the price. The hotel cannot do anything for the hot weather. .................................................... - minus points The chair was broken - as ”replacement” a bottle of water was offered but there was not even a bottle opener available. The other drinks that it should be supposed to be there have not been found. ................................................... + Plus points Full score: There are ways to stack baggage! Obviously today it is no longer self-confidence. The concept Hotel H2O has not only a nice garden with clothing sticks but also a night-commodity and a glass box under the desk. A few months ago, I was in a much more expensive, allegedly ”trendy” hotel in Kiel, in which there was neither a box nor a commodity. People would be living from bags anyway. In my case, this is not true: when arrived it is for me to put a few things in the box, the more if you want to stay a few days. The hotel is really very central - to the railways you can go for one minute. There is a Asian restaurant right below the hotel, which I was unfortunately unable to visit, but the dining card looked invited.

Ich war als Tagesgast Teilnehmer eines Seminares, daher kann ich die Übernachtungsmöglichkeitrn nicht bewerten. Das Gebäude scheint eine Generalüberholung hinter sich zu haben, es ist alles sehr neu, edel und modern. Die Dame, welche offensichtlich für unser Seminar verantwortlich war erschien außergewöhnlich freundlich und gut strukturiert. Der Tagungsraum war hell, sauber und ausreichend groß. Das Catering zu den gebuchten Pausen war lecker, abwechslungsreich und mittags/abends Büffet. Auch hier sehr lecker und viel Auswahl. Zum Abendessen erschienen genug junge Kellner. Etwas ungewollt wirkte das Lichtspiel in der großen Empfangshalle. Hell/ dunkel und final rot-orange… schwierig… Passend zu der fragwürdigen, roten Beleuchtungsfarbe teilten sich die beiden rezeptionisten kurzzeitig einen Stuhl neben- oder vielmehr aufeinander. Dies schien mir nicht sehr angemessen für diese Art etablissement. Der Abend endete in der Schönen großen Hotelbar. Hier gibt es keinen Kritikpunkt.

We chose the hotel because our flight from Cologne-Bonn airport left early the following day! The hotel is close to the train station... The airport can be reached by train in just under 15 minutes! The reception at the hotel was very friendly and courteous! Our room was quite large... the bathroom was a suitable size. We slept peacefully and well. An advantage: diagonally opposite is a pizzeria... it was extremely delicious there!

On the occasion of a funeral service, we had booked two single rooms at short notice. The central location, the good parking space in the underground car park belonging to the hotel and the favorable price-performance ratio are convincing. The space in the garage is tight, even for a mid-range car, and the space is very well lit so that maneuvering is not difficult. Both single rooms were clean, appropriately furnished and big enough. Good sleeping comfort in the beds. Small functionally equipped bathroom. Sufficient, good breakfast, friendly staff.
