B&B Hotel Bremen-Altstadt

“Recommendable budget option for short stay in Bremen”

The hotel is located within walking distance from the old town. The interior design is quite impressive - the theme is space travel. The rooms are quite large, mostly white.

The hotel is located within walking distance from the old town. The interior design is quite impressive - the theme is space travel. The rooms are quite large, mostly white. Breakfast is served in a large room downstairs, there is also a bar there but we did not use it. The hotel will ask you about the size of your car and, although it may sound weird, treat this question seriously. The hotel has an underground parking with lifts which allow to place two cars in a single parking lot - one up and one down. The price is that too high or too long cars can't squeeze in. This is a budget option so some things are not perfect. The hotel is located in a main street with tramways so if you like to sleep in choose rooms at the back, the windows are not sound proof. The room is quite large but the bathroom is not, the washbasin apparently looked great on paper but the reality is that if you size L or more you may find it difficult to wash your hands or brush your teeth with the doors closed.

“Good breakfast, but that's about it”

B&B Hotel, what to say, if such a word exists I would be underwhelmed. The rooms are small but as such nice, beds are mediocre, my back didn't like them, the heating/cooling is an AC unit, which is quite loud. And talking about noise, the windows block out most of the noise from the quite busy stre… more

B&B Hotel, what to say, if such a word exists I would be underwhelmed. The rooms are small but as such nice, beds are mediocre, my back didn't like them, the heating/cooling is an AC unit, which is quite loud. And talking about noise, the windows block out most of the noise from the quite busy street, but the walls between the rooms and the doors have next to no sound insulation so noises travel easy. The hotel has the most annoying room "key" system I've ever encountered, you need to punch in a 7 digit code on the door to open it and each digit punched replies with a loud beep, which you can easily hear from rooms down the hallway. The breakfast is good, if you are vegetarian, just ask for vegetarian options! You can buy drinks, crisps and chocolate all around the clock for a reasonable price. There is a parking lot outside the hotel for a few cars, but also a garage under the hotel, but be aware, the driveway is steep and the height is limited to, according the sign 150cm, the reception, 170cm, which rules out at least most SUVs, and you cannot unload your car in front of the hotel. However, there is a reasonably priced public parking house near the hotel. So recommendable? Not really, I would definitely look for another hotel next time I visit Bremen.

“Make sure you pre-book breakfast !!”

Room was OK - typical hotel room. But, what cheezed me off, were two things ..... a) I arrived a little after two, was told very bluntly that check in was at 3. OK - fair enough, I said, I'll sit over there, can you let me know if room ready an earlier. Reception lady agreed she would. I patientl… more

Room was OK - typical hotel room. But, what cheezed me off, were two things ..... a) I arrived a little after two, was told very bluntly that check in was at 3. OK - fair enough, I said, I'll sit over there, can you let me know if room ready an earlier. Reception lady agreed she would. I patiently sat. Roll on to about ? 2.45 ..... two lots of other people arrive to check in, and are checked in ..... I go back to the reception desk, and lady has gone, is now a gentleman, who checks me in ...... I was not tired and not impressed ! b) I go down for breakfast, 15 minutes before finishing time. Only one other family in there eating. Told, 'you have to book the day before' ..... we are full .... I (nicely) said, there is no one in here, but she explained, we only prepare enough food for those that have booked. Well fair enough .... but there was still food out ... maybe they were expecting a last minute surge ? There's no tea or coffee in the room, you can buy it at reception. On the upside, there is a nice restaurant just across the road !
