Max Brown Hotel Midtown, part of Sircle Collection

Leider hat uns an diesem Aufenthalt nichts gefallen.

Wir waren nicht das erste Mal, aber das erste Mal zum Japantag in diesem Hotel. Ich weiß nicht, ob es sich seit letztem Jahr so stark verändert hat, aber wir werden nicht wiederkommen. Das Personal an der Rezeption hat weder von Freundlichkeit, Höflichkeit noch Hilfsbereitschaft gestrotzt, und das Zimmer war dieselbe Zimmer Kategorie, die ich immer buche, aber extrem ab gewohnt. Es war kein angenehmer Aufenthalt.

It was comfortable, stylish and the staff were friendly. The aesthetics were interesting/quirky and the soft ball + basket ball hoop in the room was fun.

We were there during a heatwave (30°C/86°F) and the room only had a mostly functional tower fan with a broken base. The room we stayed in was also cramped for two people and needed a lot of shimmying around each other. While the bare bulbs were a nice aesthetic, they were also right at eye level/above the head of the bed and could be quite bright. Some frosting or simple light shades would really help out.

The location is hard to beat, if you want to experience Little Tokyo, but it comes with its (obvious) downsides. For what we wanted, it was perfectly located with the metro and main station close by. Downtown and the Rhine walkways are a 10-15 minute walk away or easy to reach with public transport. The rooms were nice, bright and clean, but on the side of tiny. For a two night stay, they were absolutely fine for us. The mattresses were medium firm and you had two different pillows of two different sizes to choose from. They have a pool table in the lobby/lounge, which entertained us for quite a while. The hotel staff is mindful of the noise, though, so you can only play between 11:00-22:00, which we appreciated a lot. The bar and lounge area were very nice as well.

The rooms heat up quickly, so one has to plan for airing out before bed time, which requires some logistics as the rooms are Tokyo-sized (=very small). In one of our rooms the safe didn't work, in the other the fan didn't, so that wasn't too amazing. As for the obvious downside to such a centrally located hotel: there are loud drunk people on the streets at all hours of the night. Shocker, right? Be aware, pack your ear plugs and all is good.

Das Frühstück war super und das Personal freundlich. Die Zimmer sind sauber und Anpassungen laufen reibungslos. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist wirklich super für die Lage in der sich das Hotel befindet

Auf der Couch im Zimmer konnte man nicht sitzen, da sie sehr instabil war. Der Aufzug könnte etwas beengend wirken.

Das Personal war super nett und hilfsbereit, die Einrichtung stilvoll und gemütlich, bequem und sauber

Endlich einmal nicht die sterile Standarteinrichtung.
