Innside Bremen

Again in this hotel for an open air concert at the „Seebühne“ nearby: perfect location! We leave our car at their big parking lot in front of the hotel (€5.00 per day; you can park outside this lot for free at the mall). A friendly and fast check-in on a friday afternoon brings us to our room with river view in the third floor. The doubleroom with two single beds is nice and clean, but without an a/c. The bathroom comes with a bathtub, which can be heavy to enter for older people, and a vent. A big plus is their free (!) minibar in the room: a new small fridge with sodas and water and enough space for your own drinks to cool down. We don’t use their restaurant for breakfast (€15.00) or lunch/dinner (a la carte) this time. On Friday evening we made a short stop at their bar in the lobby: very nice two female bartenders served quickly our drinks. On Saturday evening - after the concert - there was no chance to get a seat … sorry for too less capacity of guests: perhaps someone can open another space for such events?! Overall we‘ll come back to this hotel, where every guest gets a warm welcome and a nice room (take the river view - it’s worth the extra money).

Location is important to me. Normally I book city hotels. This one is about 5km north of the city, but I didn't need to worry. It is a short walk to the tram system and made travel easy. Tram service 3 gets you to the old town. If you do arrive in a car, there is a large car park up front. Close to the hotel is a shopping centre. There is also a cinema in the shopping centre. The rear of the hotel has a good waterfront view from the restaurant and outside decking where you can sit when the weather is good. The rooms are large by European standards, clean and feel both fresh and new. Wifi is good for devices. There was a free mini bar with a selection of cold non-alcoholic drinks. There is a bar in the lobby. The breakfast is comprehensive, and you can pick a variety of options. Most days we were able to eat lunch quite late due to never feeling hungry while out and about. Lufthansa lost our luggage. Even with the correct hotel name on the luggage they managed to deliver it to a totally different hotel. Our hotel was incredibly helpful in finding it and looking after our luggage. They were brilliant.

WARNING!!!! Hired the service of this hotel that belongs to the Melia chain (Innside by Bremen) through and as an intermediary El Corte Ingles in Zaragoza (SPAIN) from 6/6/2023 to 10/6/2023 I receive a normal attention at the time of registration, but when I go up to the room I find that the bed you have to make it yourself , The shower shows signs of poor hygiene, as is logical I make the bed I clean the shower and something else in the bathroom of dubious cleanliness, I put my belongings on a shelf that makes closet and go to the hotel restaurant for dinner, dinner was normal, neither too much nor too little and neither good nor bad. The next day I go down to breakfast, the offer is scarce but it can be admitted, I leave the hotel and on my return I find that my suitcase has been tampered with (not opened because it has a safety lock) which makes no sense since it is at a height that to clean the shelf and have to move it they need a ladder and they do not use it to clean rooms which they did not do either, they only change the bed linen every two days, the parking is outdoors on the street with a very poor or no surveillance, there are very obvious signs of theft in vehicles (it is full of broken glass of the windows of vehicles that have been assaulted or stolen) for this service for 3 days they charge me 20 €. The restaurant closes at 21:00, at 20.00 we ask for dinner and they tell me that they have nothing and do not give us dinner, we take our car and we have to go to the center of Bremen to eat something (30 minutes between arrival and parking). Arrives the day of departure from the hotel and at the time of payment they tell me that they are going to charge me 100€ more for having smoked in the room and that they have had to hire an external company for cleaning, which is clearly not true, because I have not smoked inside the room, The question is that they do not clean what you hire and charge for what you do not stain, professional ethics in any place is to warn the user visually (signs indicating prohibition) or verbally in this case of the ban on smoking, They take advantage of the fact that you have little time to catch the flights and so you do not have time to formulate the due complaints, and in my case also the lack of knowledge of other languages since I only know Spanish, as a curious note they have a vending machine for tobacco, on the terrace of the bar you smoke and nobody tells you anything and at the entrance of the hotel they have an ashtray. Here I leave you my bad experience with the Hotel Innside by Melia Bremen hired through El Corte Ingles in Zaragoza. THINK TWICE BEFORE HIRING THE SERVICE OF THIS PLACE.

At check in asked several times if our car was parked in the right space. Employee could see the car and it was freeparking. Sure? Yes, sure. At checkout a young girl wanted me to pay for parking. I told her that about check in, another employee told me it was free parking. She was very unfriendly telling me I understood wrong and it was MY problem. She had a really bad behaviour I have never experienced before in any hotel. This was the second but also our LAST stay. She didn't want to get her superior and told me to sent an email.

Fifth visit to the hotel for business at the steelworks, I prefer it to town centre hotels since traffic in town can be busy in the morning. Breakfast is great- the dining room is very pleasant. We usually eat out so not had dinner there. The lady that runs the bar is superb- a master at her craft. Tram into town makes evening drinks at the riverside easy. Shopping centre nearby a bonus- I can get my lunch at Lidl and keep it in the fridge in the room. I’ll no doubt return again and again as it’s difficult to beat.

Overall it was a satisfying stay. Clean simpel rooms including all you need bathroom. Personnel was nice and attentive. A lot of parking space richt in front of the hotel. It is also nice that it is next to a shopping mall with a lot of deining options.

Fine modern hotel on the banks of the Wezer with nice rooms overlooking the river. Hotel is located next to shoppingmall Waterfront and not far from the citycenter of Bremen. There is a tramstop at the hotel that takes you directly to the center. Very tasty and extensive continental and English breakfast. Dinner menu is on the small side, especially with children, but what you get is very tasty. Highly recommended.
