What is your Priority Club status?
Spire

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Standard double with sofa bed

How are the rooms?
My room was very tiny. The lift lobby and corridors were very wide so I wonder why they couldn't have made the rooms a bit bigger. Being a new building everything was clean. View of an office building. Some rooms look out over the Supper and Schwebebahn, which would be nicer. Good noise insulation when windows are shut tightly.

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
Big shower and sink, good water pressure and temperature control, lots of plug points.
Breakfast starts at 0600 on weekdays and lasts until 1030 (weekends 30min later). Fresh vegetables and nice croissants (seem to be freshly produced too). Other choices are sliced cold meats cheeses fruits yoghurt and bread.
Reasonably close to Hbf, very close to Schwebebahn station.

Bad:
Ground floor looks like an empty lot making me worried the hotel had closed down without warning on my approach.
English skills of staff were not great. Poor recognition of status, but got the welcome points immediately.
Room preferences not fulfilled.
Only a flimsy 1m² table (like HIX Gibraltar) and barely any other flat surfaces for storage. Bedside table almost fully occupied by large phone.

I declined housekeeping but did not receive the promised 500 points.
Teabags in room and at breakfast are all plastic which is supposed to be bad these days.
Only hot food at breakfast is hard-boiled eggs and pancakes. Dirty cups.

Rarely any staff at reception in the mornings resulting in long waits for check out (we didn't bother).


Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?[/QUOTE]
At €64 it was cheaper than staying in Düsseldorf or Cologne and worth taking the train.
