Aparthotel by dasPaul

Let's start with the positive: The room was really well equipped, all the furniture was OK, mini kitchen with fridge, hotplates, dishwasher, sink, oven, coffee machine (capsules available), air conditioning. All the furniture was in top order, nothing to complain about. The same goes for the bathroom. The room is the most important part of the stay, so the other points are secondary. Unfortunately, the room was a bit too small and the furniture was not arranged optimally, so the bathroom door, for example, didn't open all the way and it was generally quite cramped, but you can manage that. The hotel is in the city center, so there is no parking. A parking garage is about 100 meters away and costs 30 euros per night. I parked in the "Augustinerhof" (20 euros per night, about 400m walk, very convenient/large parking spaces). Breakfast is not served in the hotel, but in the "dasPaul" restaurant (about 100m). That's nice, but because everything is freshly prepared, it takes a bit longer (if you're in a hurry in the morning). The portions are quite large, so bring your hunger. What bothered me a little was the impersonal and completely "human" way the stay was handled. The hotel doesn't have a reception, so it was designed that way. The "reception" is via a friendly QR code. You enter your details (in the hallway) on the website you call up (okay) and are forced to pay the total amount for the stay before you've even seen the room (not really ok for me). You then receive a link and you can then use this website to open the door. So apparently you can't get in without a smartphone. Have some mobile data ready, I'll get to the hotel WiFi later. You open the door via the website (takes between 2 and 20 seconds). That worked so far. You need internet to open the door. The connection to the WiFi was, let's say, "tricky". Connection to the open hotel WiFi works. The mobile device should then open the login page. Works without a problem the first time. When you leave the house and re-enter it sometimes takes a lot of persuasion to get to the login page (there's the issue with the door again...), so turn the WiFi off and on again, connect to a different network, etc. Sometimes manually calling up the address 172.168.1.1 helps. Once you've happily arrived on the login page, you have to click the "Connect" button. Sometimes it works straight away, sometimes after the 5th time, sometimes more often... My record was 19 attempts. So: If you want to be sure that you can get into the room, have mobile data ready. Please don't get me wrong. I think technical development is great, but here I had the impression of a gimmick that doesn't represent real progress. All in all, the first point is the most important for me. :-)

Excellent logement tout neuf et très bien équipé. Très bien placé au coeur de la ville.
