Really enjoyed my stay here. It was super easy to get to from the hauptbahnhof. The staff was incredibly nice and it was super convenient to have the open kitchen available.
I really wasn't sure how the whole open kitchen thing would work but I really missed it when I left:
1. If you want something, you just take it as well as one of those little forms hanging off the fridge
2. Tick the box on the form that corresponds with the item
3. Fill in your room details
4. Hand to front desk to add to your room charge
5. Enjoy your thing at one of the tables or in your room
Concerns:
Lower level smoker smell-
When I got there, the front area smelled of smoker's carpet. As if someone had just ignored the "no smoking policy," took up smoking in the lower level when no one was watching, and then hoped that no one would notice.
I later realized that this was a result of people smoking near the front door and the air blowing it inside when the doors opened. It must have been a chain smoker before I arrived because I didn't notice it as much on the second day. Plus, I know how hard it is to get smells out of carpet.
Truck noise-
My room, a studio, faced the street where workers would unload items from trucks at seemingly all hours of the day and night. If you can't tune out noises of banging metal against the street, you'd probably be better requesting a room facing the opposite direction. I got used to it quickly as I'm accustomed to ALL sorts of noise back home.

I changed hotels during a later part of my trip to be closer to a concert and immediately missed the Henri. Don't be like me. Just stay at the Henri so you can be free of regrets. read more
