Boardinghouse s' Johanner

The boarding house has an excellent location just off of St. Johanner Markt - Saarbrücken's main square. Saarbrücken Hauptbahnhof is a 10 - 15 minute walk straight along Bahnhofstraße, which connects the station with St. Johanner Markt. My apartment was spotlessly clean and very modern; the shower was excellent. The free bottle of sparkling water awaiting me in the fridge upon my arrival was hugely appreciated. In spite of the negatives I mentioned here, I would gladly stay again, though perhaps in the winter once the heat of summer has gone!

Bear in mind that the s'Johanner has two properties. Check in is automated via the s'Johanner website, through which you can gain your access code for the entrance door and your apartment's door. Using the code that I had been allocated, I was able to gain access to the wrong property; it was only after having climbed three or four flights of stairs that I discovered my apartment was not actually in that particular building. The s'Johanner wifi kept dropping out for me, so I had to constantly switch between that and the Saarbrücken free city wifi as provided by the local authority. Although I had no use for the large flat screen television during my stay, I did note that there did not appear to be a remote control for the TV anywhere in the apartment. Possibly you have to request it from the proprietor? The worse negative of all was the fact that there was no air conditioning nor fan provided. The room was stiflingly hot every single night in the heat of August. I really struggled to sleep throughout my six night stay. I urge that this issue should be rectified ASAP.
