We are on day 9 of being in Bavaria and I think our 5th or 6th hotel. This is by far the best and most comfortable. The bed is so awesome. The staff are welcoming. Two big drawbacks; no air conditioning and finding the actual hotel location. We arrived late at night, I had made a reservation and paid ahead of time. We were so frustrated at not being able to find the hotel we drove about 10 minutes away and were going to check into a Holiday Inn Express. The guy at the front desk there was sooooo sweet, when I told him we were unable to find the NinetyNine Hotel, he did everything but drive us to the front door. He printed off directions and told us exactly what to look for! It's located next to the Universitat Augsburg a sort of industrial area on the outskirts of town. When we woke up in the day time we realized the GPS had taken us right next to the hotel but there are no visible neon signs at night. I am really glad we wound up finding it. They hotel is big on sustainability and animal conservation and awareness. The decor is wonderfully strange yet welcoming with butterflies 🦋, monkeys, fish 🐟 and other animals all around. There is a full bar in the lobby, breakfast is available and a small refrigerator in the lobby with drinks for sale. Oh and it is located above the Rewe grocery store and you get access to the fitness center right next door. I absolutely recommend this hotel.
I arrived early and parked in the garage below the hotel. The room was already available so they let me check in. I think the Leonardo Hotel is fairly new. Everything was quite clean and fresh. You need your room key to activate the elevator to go to your floor. I thought this was very clear but so many of my fellow guests were confused and I had to explain. Perhaps this would be better clarified during check in. Through helping other people, I also found out that the key only works for your floor and you can't access other floors. During my three night stay, I rode the elevator with quite a few confused people. There is bottled water in the room when you check in and it's complimentary. In the bathroom, the soap, shampoo and body wash are all one bottle/formulation. There is no conditioner. I didn't have the breakfast at the hotel but I did have dinner at the restaurant one night. It was good but I thought it was funny that I tried to order beer and they were out of a lot of it, as well as some of the menu items. The kimchi and hummus were delicious, and the signature drink was very interesting. My colleague and I needed a place to work on our computers one day and this hotel doesn't really have common/lobby space in which to do that because the restaurant area is closed outside of mealtimes. We sat in one of the conference rooms but a staff member chased us out. That's one improvement that I think this hotel could make (a place to sit and work and plug in a laptop), especially because it seemed like we were not the only business trip people there.
This is a strange property. Location is close to the city center. Parking is behind the hotel and very inconvenient. Breakfast is not included and the cost is $15 Euros. Don't pay it. You are in walking distance from a bakery, a Starbucks, and a McDonalds all where you can get breakfast for half that. The rooms are huge - almost too big for the configuration. Room is spacious, but the bathroom is tiny. Shag carpet which is an interesting choice for a hotel. Rooms are clean. Towels, etc outside the bathroom because the bathrooms have zero storage or counter space. Hotel staff is not particularly welcoming. You definitely feel like you're in the principal's office. Rigid is the word I would use to describe the experience. It wasn't a terrible experience, but probably would try something different if I'm in the area again.
Ordentlich, bis auf einige offensichtlich hartnäckige Flecken im Flur im Teppich. Zimmer aber top, funktionell und geräumig mit guten Ablagemöglichkeiten. Bad mit genug Platz, ordentliche Dusche. Betten etwas zu hart!! Erst nicht gewöhnt ist könnte Rücken bekommen… Lage top am Eingang zur Innenstadt. Parkhäuser in der Nähe, Bahnhofshaus als Gast direkt für 7€/d echt günstig. Frühstück vielfältig aber nicht übertrieben. Service super aufmerksam und nett. Preis/leistung gut.
