Pension Schlafgut

The location of this hotel is amazing. You can walk to anywhere in downtown Leipzig very comfortably. I had no reason to use public transport because of the location. And it was just a few blocks from the train station. The pension was very clean. I had a suite with a bathroom and that was also very clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

The hotel is down an alley, so it's a bit hard to find. Also, the front desk was only open from 7 am (I think?) to 6 pm, so that limits when you can check in and check out. The staff was very friendly, but only one spoke fluent English (not a problem for me, I don't expect everyone to cater to English, but they market heavily saying they speak English, so it's worth noting). Breakfast was good but not stellar. I missed having more vegetables with breakfast. They had very few vegetables and the cucumber one day looked very questionable. But it was adequate with boiled eggs, meats, cheeses, spreads, coffee, tea, and bread. Like other reviewers, I did find it odd that there wasn't a kettle in my room. And the water isn't very hot in the bathrooms. The hallways were a bit loud with thin walls.
