Green City Hotel Vauban

“Yes, stay here!”

This hotel is quite nice and stands out in the crowd. It is located in an area that has a lot of student housing and there is no on street parking.

This hotel is quite nice and stands out in the crowd. It is located in an area that has a lot of student housing and there is no on street parking. The hotel does have an area in front for bag drop off though it was not initially apparent- I had to go in and ask at the front desk. I enjoyed the hip, boutique appearance of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The check in process was otherwise straightforward. There is no on site parking, but the hotel has an arrangement with a parking garage across the street below a grocery store. Be aware that the garage isn't open 24 hours. When we checked out, my husband had to find the entrance behind the building to get in. We reserved the suite for myself, husband and mother. There were two well-placed rooms and an outdoor balcony. I loved the windows! You could open all the windows and get a pleasant cross breeze. The common sitting area was very pleasant. Our room looked down on the street. We were able to get around quite easily on the metro; the station platform was a few steps away from the front door right across the street. The hotel doesn't have an onsite restaurant. We were given the name of a restaurant nearby and brought our food to the hotel to eat. However, the front desk does serve multiple duties as hotel check-in, conference room desk and bar. In the evening, even patrons from off the street come in to be served. I truly enjoyed this hotel.

“Clean, green, spacious, modern and convenient for tram to city center”

We spent one night (hotel was booked up for the other nights we wanted). We had a room with a balcony that had chairs and a table where you could sit and enjoy the sunshine. The bed was very comfortable. The decor is very modern with clean lines and no frills - which I liked. The WiFi was limited -… more

We spent one night (hotel was booked up for the other nights we wanted). We had a room with a balcony that had chairs and a table where you could sit and enjoy the sunshine. The bed was very comfortable. The decor is very modern with clean lines and no frills - which I liked. The WiFi was limited - we could not do some of the work we planned to do. The lobby is very spacious and feels like a spa. We did not eat breakfast, but the offerings looked good - mueslis, cheeses, meats, breads, fruits. The staff were very nice and most spoke English, but even the one I spoke to with my limited German was able to understand. I really like the inclusiveness here. The front desk were very helpful when I needed to print a bus ticket. Parking is across the road and is discounted.

“Green and environmently friendly BUT gets noisy and hot! Very BASIC!”

The hotel is modern and clean but a little basic. The staff were helpful but breakfast was very limited and there are no coffee facilities within the room.

“Good experience ... But ...”

The hotel is situated a bit outside of the city. It has a parking but it is so badly done that I touched the wall on the exit ramps... and I am very careful ... in the room : Too much tramways noise from very early until very late ... Which almost force you to keep the window closed during the nig… more

Which almost force you to keep the window closed during the night Staff is friendly... bar at reception is open 24/24 ... good choice overall but not perfect neither
