Moxy Bremen

I like to stay at Marriott hotels mostly because they normally have very comfortable beds and pillows. This is not the case with the Moxy Bremen. The pillows are terrible, too large and hard and they provide no alternatives. While the staff at night were super friendly and helpful, the morning staff was the complete opposite. I don't mind the bare minimum rooms with no place to put your clothes but rudeness of staff and bad sleep quality will mean I don't stay here again during my monthly trips to Bremen. On a positive note I do like the downstairs ambience.

The location is okay, a bit outside of the city centre, but the tram is just a short walk away. Tram frequency is good, except for sundays, where it's pretty poor. Otherwise this hotel feels very "budget". There is no storage of any kind, no safe, no fridge, and no water (but you can buy water for exorbitant prices in the lobby). The climate control also didn't work as intended: The room was way too hot while the air was still super dry, so the machine seems to be on power saving mode. Also unfortunate: The chair had a stain on it. The "fun" novelty cushion didn't make this more fun though...

The bathroom had too little shelf space, the shower is very bare (no rain head and just a cheap curtain), and the water pressure is too low. The provided shampoo is of poor quality, too. If you forget any toiletries, none are provided (but again, you can buy them in the lobby for a huge markup). The towels, while of normal hotel quality, are tiny.

But even if you only use it as "just a bed for the night", it even fails at that: the bed is very uncomfortable, there are only two tiny cushions, the rooms have poor sound isolation, and there's a super annoying motion-activated light under the bed. Whoever thought that that's a good idea needs to be fired. Also: the service was not my cup of tea. Some are really friendly and nice, but some - I think - try to be "young" and "cool". But nobody was outright rude, so there's that...

So summary: They remind you of all their budget cuts at every little step of the way - if you can avoid it, avoid it. Don't think just because this is part of the marriot brand, that you get anything even close to a marriot experience. It's not even worth 60 bucks a night.

This is going to be my no go hotel. The bed was worse than a sofa bed. And when I removed the cushion there was a strong dog smell. We got an accessible room. After we woke up we wanted to leave ASAP.

We didn't get any welcome drink as supposed and we told the receptionist what happened and he was like you can get different pillows from us - how on earth do we know if you didn't tell us in advance! There's no information whatsoever about this in the room.

The only good thing is free street parking outside the hotel.
