The location of the hotel is excellent. But that is all. Hotel has seven floors, but one lift, so in the morning one must have luck to catch it. Due to remodeling work I could use the lift only temporally. I can understand, that there is a work, but I had to go with all my luggage from the fifth... More

Hotel Ambassador is right around the corner from tram station Barbarossaplatz so it's very easy to get there from the train station. Within 10 minutes (4 stops) you're in the hotel. Even though it might not be the most central, the city is pretty good to walk around from the hotel. Staff is friendly and helpful. Personally I thought the... More

The location and price of this hotel are fantastic. Right on barbarossaplatz about 20m from the overground station but didn't use it as you can walk into the centre in about 20 minutes anyway. Cheaper than the vast majority of other hotels including those in the suburbs and very clean, bright and comfortable rooms. Only downside was wifi not included... More

My wife and I stayed there in early March for two nights because of the exhibition. We stayed in Junior Suite room just next to the reception area. Room is large enough but only standard basic. Excellent location, directly in front of Barbarossa Platz U Bahn and many places to eat nearby. The room price did not include the breakfast.

For the price (we paid just under £100 for a medium double room for 2 nights) this hotel was totally acceptable. The room was very small but it was clean enough and we weren't hanging around in there much anyway. We had a room on the 2nd floor facing onto the street so noise should have been a problem but...

Nice modern hotel, in excellent condition, great neighbourhood. Excellent rate - only problem is the lack of air conditioning. Request a room facing away from the street if you need to sleep with your window open.

Really liked this hotel. For the money we paid we got clean and cozy room with comfortable bed and nice shower room. The hotel is located near tram station and it was really convenient to move around the city. The breakfast was good but the choice was the same every day. Anyway it's a good 3 star hotel totally renewed... More

The single room was enough for one person, very good service at the reception, clean hotel. Quite noisy because of train stop at the front of the hotel but not disturbable. It's a good choice for living near the city centre and affordable.
