Riess City Rooms - Self Check-IN

Central and clean . Only problem is no front desk. The key delivery system is not clear and not user friendly

Small rooms but clean and comfortable, good location (100m from Freud museum), handy for university. No reception so don’t lose the code - or let your phone go flat - or real trouble. No flex from the machine on check in timing - though it’s clock is wrong (“3pm” means “3:06” apparently). There is a kitchen with free fruit/coffee to wait in. Internal courtyard room had no city noise, but poor sound insulation from corridor. Cleaner is sure to wake you on arrival at 8am - though do nothing later. Free coffee capsule and packet croissant was welcome for breakfast - but apparently for one day only (not replenished). Most TV channels didn’t work. Wifi OK, though had to reconnect manually. Nice hot high pressure shower. Good value - probably stay elsewhere in future

Very basic. Clean and comfortable but definitely not luxury by any means, it felt like we were staying in student accommodation or a private room in a hostel. The area is quiet and fairly central which reflects in the price. Our double bed was next to the wall, we had no bedside tables or bedside lamps, the position of the bed was awkward and we had to crawl to get on and off - not good for those with mobility issues. The room is up two flights of stairs with no lift, so be prepared to carry your suitcase. There is a basic shower room with toiletries, and a coffee machine and croissants in the room were a nice touch. There's a nice sized fridge in the room, also. The laundry room is very convenient with a washer and dryer and ironing board, and the kitchen is well equipped. Self check-in was easy, but be careful because the room doors lock on you when you go into the corridor. We locked ourselves out of the room and had to phone the manager. The manager called housekeeping and someone came very promptly which we were very thankful for. The place seems well managed and very safe with lots of solo travellers and women staying alone. We are rating 3 stars purely due to the basic level of accommodation, but would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone looking for somewhere safe to stay in a convenient location on a tight budget.

Gorgeous place near Sigmund Freud’s house/museum. A short walk to the historical centre Very comfortable room and bed. Kitchen available for guest use. Free tea/coffee/cake/fruit. Spotlessly clean, excellent! .
