Der LIPPISCHE HOF

We enjoyed this hotel a great deal - it's slightly different from the run-of-th-mill hotel one often finds. The furnishings/decor is a mixture of british/indian/russian - but it works. The rooms are quite stylish and facilities are good quality but the bathroom layout is rather open and maybe disconcerting for some people. Minor point: almost all the lights in the bedroom are controlled by one switch - either have them all on or all off. Staff were very pleasant. Everyone, including ourselves, seemed to be there on a special offer that included breakfast and evening meal. The evening meal was good but no real choice. Breakfast was up on the 3rd floor in a large and welcoming room but rather warm as it was under the roof. Choice was good but again, nothing exceptional - the standard international choice. Would recommend the Spirit of India which belongs to the hotel although is on the other side of the road - it's a rather bizarre cocktail bar - its name suggests the decor. Rather disorganised staff but the cocktails were good. Wouldn't recommend the underground car park - much too tight. The normal hotel car parks are perfectly fine.
