The area east of the Hauptbahnhof is desolate and ugly. However, the Pension Sandwirt is such a good deal and the owner's so friendly that we just had to include it.
The Sandwirt is ideal for small, undemanding groups of travelers who know each other well—for example, a bunch traveling on a EuroRail spree or driving around Europe in a van. Even though the quarters can get pretty tight, the triples and quads are a bargain.
Mind you, these aren't fashionable rooms. The beds are cramped together, and the wall-mounted televisions are tiny. A table that looks like it was made for card playing is planted right in the middle of it all. Rooms have their own sinks but toilets are communal. Privacy's not exactly a priority: larger rooms have a bizarre Duschkabinett (shower closet) right next to the beds, so best be comfortable with your roommates.
There's free breakfast in the morning and a kitchen for guests to use. Ask at the front desk and the owner will lend you toiletries or a hair dryer.
Sandwirt is in a courtyard behind a building with its own little (free!) parking area. |
