Currently, we are on a 100 day Tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland (check p41d.com if you…read morewant to learn more - it's a German web site though). As a tour photographer, I have spent more than 5000 nights in hotels - all kinds of hotels. Apparently, there is some funky change in the hotel scene, as out of a sudden all this new chains are popping up.
This was our third stay in a new chain called Viennahouse Easy - and this on there in Braunschweig is so new that it was not even on yelp ;-). It's a fun place - they strive to be young and urban and special. The rooms were nice, mine - an upgrade, as I pay for the entire entourage - very spacious and the internet is amazingly fast.
In the lobby, they have plants with names to take on your room. One of our crew members - Niko - had to leave the tour, and there was a plant named Nico - and Nico's girl Isa could not resist. It's a fun place, but there still is a learning curve. We staged five events - and it took us an hour to find the door we could load the equipment, the loading way was a mess - and, sorry, the restaurant was a desaster. None of us finished their meals - a rarity, and the server.... well I did not leave any tip for him which should say it all.
I was seriously tempted to rate it 3 stars, but then I took a heart, and stay with four. After all, there is a chance some one looks at this and improves. The place sure deserves it, it's really a fun place.
