Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Maternushaus enjoys a convenient location, often described as a short walk from both the main train station (HBF) and the iconic Cathedral. Guests frequently praise the spaciousness of the rooms, some noting the comfort of having ample floor space and even a sofa. The breakfast is consistently highlighted for its exceptional variety and quality, although a few guests have mentioned the absence of tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms.

spartan room street noise

the room looked quite spartan. i expected more in the way of decor. furthermore, the street-facing window allowed considerable noise to permeate the room at night. the disturbances included ambulances and general traffic.

convenient stay near cathedral

kind staff unlimited water

The staff at the reception were very kind and helpful. the water dispenser in the lobby was a great addition. It provided unlimited water. i appreciated this feature, especially during the summer days.

the room faced the street, resulting in significant noise from ambulances and cars at night. it was difficult to sleep soundly due to the constant traffic sounds. i think soundproofing is necessary.
