10/10 Excellent
"Adina Leipzig is right in the center of town, a 5-minute walk from the central train station. There is easy walking access to many sights, restaurants and shopping. Our studio was efficiently furnished, sparkling clean and comfortable. Kitchen had all the necessary appliances except a coffee maker which was missed dearly. Staff was always friendly and very helpful. We would stay there any time again."

"The junior suite was amazing and the blinds were fun. Large bathtub also a bonus. What was not fun was the pull-out sofa. Maybe b/c I'm from the US but that was NOT a pull out bed. Extremely uncomfortable. When I called downstairs to ask for bedding/linens for the bed, the front desk woman was shocked that I was asking for it! She said "is someone going to sleep there?" And she told me if I wanted linens I would have to come get it myself. The person sleeping on it said they woke up in the middle of the night with the most painful jaw pain and back pain. So please if you are considering this room and are planning to use it, just don't. That whole experience is what took me away from 5 stars. Parking on site super easy."
