Upper Franconia Holidays from AU$3,259

The hotel was below my expectations, even knowing beforehand that it was a budget hotel. The photos advertised online don’t really match the reality. The entrance is very inconvenient. There are two flights of stairs just to reach reception, and the elevator wasn’t working. This meant carrying all our luggage upstairs to check in, only to take it back downstairs again to reach the room. The building seems to have been industrial in the past, which gives it a slightly strange feel. The hotel was also very noisy. We could hear every step from the rooms above us. The shower temperature was extremely unstable, changing from very hot to cold within seconds. The air conditioning wasn’t working at all, not even the fan. Opening the window wasn’t much of an option either, as it faces an industrial area and the noise outside is quite loud. I’ve stayed at dozens of Ibis Budget hotels, including several recently, and unfortunately this was the worst one so far. That said, for just one night, it was manageable.

Great location, convenient parking, comfortable room. Perfect for a family of three.

The room was clean. Great location. Only issue was there is no Air Conditioning and only limited fans. This made for super hot nights.
