The kitchenette was a great cost saver, with Coop store right across the street. The staff in the hotel and little cafe were all very nice and helpful. The location of Hotel Josef is very convenient, very close to Train station, trams, and busses. We totally enjoyed our stay!!

Staff was nice and helpful during the heatwave. The shower would back up and flood the bathroom floor even when we were extremely conservative with the shower water. I had sent a notification to management and never heard a word from anyone. I was under the impression that the hotel had a restaurant, wrong!

Ultra-boutique hotel very close to the train station. It was a fantastic area with lots of food options nearby. The bed was very cozy and warm. I had an issue with my room and the staff came immediately to help, even though I checked in rather late and resolved it right away.
