Hotel Fortune

Short warning, upon arrival they demand you to pay a bed-tax even though booking.com specifically states that there are no extra charges allowed upon arrival. Around 5€ per person, per night. I did an apprenticeship as hotel manager and this is somewhat normal in germany but highly controversial even with locals. The rooms are pretty amazing and modern, we even had an AC and a small fridge. The beds were a bit small but otherwise we were really happy with everything. It all felt clean too, which you cant say from every hotel. There was nothing wrong with the service, but some extra info on arrival on how to use the room would have been nice. Where to go eat for example or how the room lights work (they are really weird). When we arrived there, there was also a marriage celebration or something like that hosted. They were basically partying next to our room for 2 consecutive days in the night right next to our room. We're young and we get it but this would honestly be unacceptable if we were a family with kids, elderly or anyone with a normal.sleeping schedule. Luckily we dont mind being awake until midnight. I worked as hotel manager for 3 years and we would have automatically compensated with free breakfast for something like this because theres no way you can just assume your guests to be okay with that. The location is god awful though, actually somewhat far from the city and theres nothing good nearby to go get something to eat. This would be no problem if the Hotel had a restaurant, WHICH IT DOES NOT. You also absolutely shouldnt come here if you are by foot, everything is just too far away by foot. Not only should you come here by car only, they also have no parking spots specifically for guests. We had to park 10 minutes away from the hotel because there was nothing free and full of trucks. I was told on the phone "there are free public parking spots, it wont be an issue" but it was. This could also just be a problem caused by that wedding celebration, so this might have just been pretty bad luck on our part but I can only rate our personal first-hand experience. The breakfast buffet is very barebones and basic, it costs 12,60€ per person per day. We paid over 300 bucks per night (without breakfast), which makes it a pretty awful experience for that price. The price is partially caused by the Gamescom convention/season but there isnt anything to back it up with aside from the nice room. This place isn't bad, I would just not recommend it because in hindsight its pretty easy to find something better for that price. Really the only thing being the problem is charging so much for something so barebones.
