City Hotel Bremen

We stayed here at the beginning of the Christmas Markets. The hotel is right near the tram / train station, and thus very easy to get to from the airport (2.10 EURO via tram No.6! From the hotel, the city itself is easier, and more fun, to get around on foot). The room was very clean, although had no ensuite, just a sink. The showers and toilet are on the same floor, very close and also very clean; so not having and ensuite wasn't a problem at all. The staff spoke great English, and were also helpful!

Have stayed at this hotel twice now (late june and middle of july), both times with a shared bathroom. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is easily accessible, close to the Hauptbahnhof (main station) and tram/bus. The room consists of a small table, two beds, two nightstands, TV, mirror and a sink. It's basically what you need for a night or two. The rooms were very clean. The common bathrooms each have a shower, toilet and sink. They were also clean, the only problem being the floor tiles. Due to the exposure to moist air, the floor tiles have mould on them (which is stuck to the tiles), so the best ting would be to change them. Overall it's a good place to stay for a few nights!

This hotel is located only 300 meters from the main railway station, which is very practical. Youcan explore the city center on foot. The trains did not cause any nuisance to me, but my room was on the other side of the hotel. The room was simple but clean. Shower and toilet are in the hallway, but very clean so that's okay. Breakfast is not included in the room price and they do not accept credit cards.

Un hotel bien ubicado, muy cerca de la estación de trenes.

Las habitaciones correctas, buenas camas, baño compartido pero limpio.

Yes really assaulted by the man who claims to be the owner - Mr Aydogan. I stayed for three nights whilst attending an expo at the Messe nearby. It is a cheap hotel so I was not expecting much. Room was stark and heavily stained carpets but the shared bathroom was clean and OK.

My problems started as I am on a medical diet and can only eat food packs that have to be mixed with boiling water, and there are no facilities to make tea/coffee in the room. The young staff were very helpful initially in providing me with a flask of boiling water that is until one morning Mr Aydogan got wind of my requests and decided that he wanted to charge me 3 euros each time. I did not pay the 3 euros and complained bitterly to him.

Later I left the hotel to attend my business, and not wanting to have another encounter with MR Aydogan at reception I decided not to leave my key as I was returning later. Twenty metres up the street M Aydogan come rushing up the street after me screaming at me to give him the key. I say its OK I am coming back and proceed on my way only to find Mr Aydogan grasping the sleeve of my jacket and demanding that I return the key. I brush him aside only to find him grasping at my sleeve once more this time his other hand is a clenched fist and he is threatening to stike me if I dont return the key. This time I brush him aside more forcefully and express my thoughts in strong anglo-

saxon expletives that he had better not lay a hand on me again and he retreats without the key.

What an extraordinary experience for my first to Bremen and indeed Germany. Mr Aydogan is a digrace to the people of Bremen.

Mercifully I did not have to encounter him again for my last night, but on asking a member of staff whether Mr Aydogan behaved in this way to all his guests, the repsonse was that his staff also that were subjected to similar treatment.

The staff are told to lie about the taking credit card payments - the machine is always broken and they dont know when it will be fixed. A colleague of mine persisted and was charged 8% by MR Aydogan.
