In my opinion, fiction (official hotel description and official photos) and reality do not match up at this hotel. Good: The ladies at reception are always present, either at the reception desk or at the ashtray in front of the main entrance. Bad: Cigarette smoke wafts through the entrance area, the bar and the corridor with the hotel rooms on the ground floor of this non-smoking hotel. I found the hotel room 12x on the ground floor musty, but clean. An unbearable smell of "spill water" came from the shower drain. In addition to a (modern) TV, there was also an (old) refrigerator (the plug was unplugged) which was so loud for hours after being switched on that I had to switch it off again. Room cleaning for guests who stay longer than one night only takes place if they come to reception by 8:30 a.m. This is announced by a laminated note in the room referring to "environmental protection reasons". Despite calling at reception every day, the rooms were NOT cleaned. Every day, some reason was given as to why it was not possible. At the weekend, no one saw cleaning staff in the corridors. You can pick up a fresh towel or toilet paper yourself at reception. The hotel description is misleading: There is NO air conditioning in the rooms and no safe. The hotel (3 stars, according to the sign in the entrance area) does not have a restaurant (permanently closed?) I can at least confirm that there are indeed free parking spaces in the courtyard. In my opinion, the "Achat Messe Leipzig" hotel is run for "wear and tear", i.e. every last euro is taken. Summary/conclusion: I have never stayed in a hotel in the ACHAT group before and, based on my experience, I will never aspire to do so again.
