I stayed here for four nights when I visited Halle for a conference. The hotel is centrally located…read moreand about a four-five minute walk to the marketplace. The ambience of the room is a real strength. There is a free breakfast included. It's rather modest but sufficient. The staff was mostly friendly and English was sufficient. The downsides included no AC and this is a big deal when it is hot, as it was during my stay. The windows do not open much. I had a fan which saved me a bit, but some rooms do not even have that. The other major downside is that Wi-Fi can be really tricky to connect to if you have an Apple device. I would get connected and then a few hours later I would try to open something I would get a message "not connected to internet." When I navigated to the login page and entered my login information I got a message that said "access denied" because I was already logged in. So it was a circle. The only way to manage the odd system was to turn off the device, say overnight, and then login fresh the next day. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Ankerhof and would stay there again.
