Hotel Description
Okay, so “Ruhiges Zimmer zentral” literally translates to “quiet room central” – and honestly, that’s pretty much exactly what you get here, which I actually appreciate in a world where hotel names usually promise way more than they deliver. This is a solid 3-star spot that doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and there’s something refreshing about that straightforward approach.
The location is what really makes this place work. I mean, you’re genuinely in the heart of things without being stuck on some crazy busy street where you can’t sleep because of traffic and late-night revelers. The “ruhig” (quiet) part of the name isn’t just marketing speak – they’ve somehow managed to find that sweet spot where you can walk to everything you actually want to see, but the rooms face away from the main drag so you’re not dealing with sirens at 2 AM. Check-in was surprisingly smooth too, none of that awkward waiting around while they figure out their system. The front desk staff actually knew the neighborhood well enough to give me proper directions to the good bakery around the corner (not just the touristy one everyone mentions online).
What struck me most was how the place felt lived-in rather than sterile – you know what I mean? The hallways have this worn-but-clean carpet that’s clearly seen plenty of travelers, and the rooms have that comfortable, slightly mismatched furniture vibe that suggests they’ve been updating things gradually over the years rather than doing some massive renovation that jacks up prices. The bed was actually comfortable (firmer than typical American hotel beds, but in a good way), and the bathroom had decent water pressure, which honestly matters more than fancy toiletries when you’ve been walking around all day. There’s no fancy gym or rooftop bar, but there’s a small breakfast area that serves proper coffee and local pastries – nothing Instagram-worthy, just solid food that gets your day started right. The 7.7 rating makes total sense to me because this isn’t a place that’ll wow you with luxury touches, but it consistently delivers on the basics without any unpleasant surprises. If you’re the type of traveler who spends most of their time exploring rather than hanging out in the hotel, and you want a clean, quiet place to crash that won’t eat up half your travel budget, this place gets it right.

Reviews
Issa from United Kingdom – 23 May 2023 (8/10)
Great location with it being very quiet as well as there being a lovely garden area.
What could be improved: I expected the entire apartment and not just a room so this was the main thing I would say needs to change on the listing.Kris from Belgium – 3 November 2024 (9/10)
Very quiet neighborhood and spacious room. Very good shower!
What could be improved: Squeaking floor and staircase.
Late check in times.Zola61 from Hungary – 10 July 2023 (8/10)
The location is a bit far from the center, but there is a very good and fast Metro line close by, so it's easy to approach.
The house is in a green suburb, very quiet and relaxed.
There is a big supermarket in 700 meters.
What could be improved: The wooden staircase is terrible narrow and cracking always when you use it.Graciella from Germany – 19 October 2023 (8/10)
The host is very kind and responds quickly to messages. Quiet neighborhood, close to the metro station.
What could be improved: The room is on the top floor and the stairs are very noisy. There is a rug in the room that slips a lot, but I spoke to the hostess and she said she would fix it. On the web site, check-out is at 11 am, but when we got there she said it was 10 am.B from Germany – 3 March 2024 (8/10)
The host was really kind and understanding, even though we unfortunately reached the place very late. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable. All necessary essentials are provided by the host. It was a very good stay.
Vahid from Czech Republic – 4 July 2024 (4/10)
What could be improved: The room was so cold during the night, and I asked the owner to turn the heating system on, but she didn't do. For me, it seems unpleasant that the owner appeared for every small sound. Always she was checking us, we were not convenient by such a behaviour.
Atabak from Portugal – 7 May 2025 (4/10)
The place was clean and comfy.
What could be improved: The host was not friendly though helpful. However, the terrible part was that at the middle of the night, someone knocked then tried to open the door. They couldn't because the door was locked with the keys inside. I didn't feel safe.Breternitz from Germany – 30 March 2025 (9/10)
Ich fand den Aufenzhalt in diesem wunderschönen Zimmer und der ruhigen Lage richtig toll!
Etwas ernüchternd war, dass nicht ordentlich gesäubert wurde. Allerdings habe ich mit der netten Gastgeberin darüber sprechen können und ihre erschrockene Reaktion und das sonstige wirklich wundervolle Anwesen hat mir vermittelt, dass dies sicher nur die Ausnahme war. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen! Wirklich ganz ganz schön bei euch, danke für die Freundlichkeit!Natascha from Germany – 30 September 2024 (9/10)
Sehr netter Empfang. Großes helles und sehr sauberes Zimmer.
Es hat an nichts gefehlt.Joseph from France – 21 August 2024 (9/10)
Très bon séjour. Propriétaires agréables et sympathiques dans un quartier résidentiel paisible à proximité du métro et à 20 minutes du centre en transport.
