This is not our first time in Rostock, and even in a cold February (2013) it's worth a re-visit.This time we chose the Penta Hotel because it looks interesting from outside and then it is virtually in the center (on the university square) - middle of the pedestrian shopping street.The lobby is ok, but reception needs a brush up. It's a part of the bar desk, and the staff could perform more professional. Our room (no. 415) would have been above average, if it had been furnished better. You'll not find minibar and no tea/coffee facilites; and if you want a bath rope, you'll have to go down to the reception to get it. Like our room, the rest of the hotel needs an update, that would help the impression of the hotel.Parking is in the basement. It's public with reserved places for the hotel, and direct access to hotel. It's a bit difficult to find when you arrive.

Perfect hotel in centre of Rostock. 24 h access to the gym and sauna. Relaxed personnel and also the meals are ok. Location is perfect if you want to enjoy the centre. Parking place under hotel. Disadvantage are the additional costs for Internet, parking and breakfast. I will stay here again my next visit for sure.

This is a good hotel with everything you'd expect from a decent hotel of international standard. The rooms are spacious and well-designed with quirky decor, staff are friendly and professional, but the biggest draw card without a doubt is the location: it's literally right on the edge of Rostock's downtown pedestrian area, excellent for sightseeing and exploring. Mind you, there isn't that much there in Rostock, but the hotel is right where the "action" is.The only negative I experienced is that they charge for wifi, which shouldn't happen nowadays. I didn't try the breakfast or other hotel facilities. Overall, a good choice for exploring Rostock.

I stayed here on June 2nd, 2012 in room 417, which is about as far away from the front desk as possible and still be in the hotel. Upon check-in at about 6 PM, I paid the extra fee for the wi-fi internet connection (¿¿¿5 as I recall). After trying to connect to the internet in my room a few hours later, my computer showed the signal as being weak and I couldn't connect. Being so far from the main part of the building and having to go through 2 security doors to get to the room, I wasn't totally surprised that the signal was weak. So I walked down to the front desk to talk someone about getting the problem resolved or use one of the public computers in the lobby. The man who was now on duty was quite defensive about the strength of the signal and insisted that the problem must be with my computer. I was sure that it wasn't, so I decided just to use one of the 2 computers in the lobby. I asked the employee for the access code and I was then told there are no more codes! Evidently they only give out a certain amount of codes each day and then when they are all used up, they don't have any more. I found this unbelievable in this day and age when internet access is virtually a necessity! What kind of hotel would limit their public computers to only a certain number of users each day? That's almost like cutting off their hot water at 9 PM to save money. Now I was getting irritated, although I maintained my composure. So I asked for my money back for the access that I'd paid for earlier. Begrudgingly, he gave it back. I decided to get my laptop and bring it down to the lobby and see if I could get a stronger signal. At this point it was about 11:45 PM. I was able to get a strong signal in the lobby as I suspected I would. I asked the front desk guy for an access code and I offered to pay the ¿¿¿5 fee again. I kind of thought he'd comp it this time around because of all the hassle I'd already been through and because it was so late at night I wouldn't be getting much time out of it, and also, not having the privacy of using it in my room was another issue. But nope...full charge. Then, I guess, because there is a full service bar behind the front desk, he offered "would you like a beer?" Hmmm, I thought, OK, well, that's a nice gesture to satisfy a potentially unhappy guest. And, too, it seems the internet provider is a 3rd party named The Cloud (as I recall) so I assumed maybe that the hotel didn't have much leeway in comping guests for poor service on behalf of The Cloud. I accepted the offer and after I sat down with my laptop at one of the couches, the bartender brought over a draft beer. After awhile he came back around and asked if I'd like another. This time, I figured that I'd be paying for the 2nd one, so I went ahead and got a 2nd. Awhile later, I flagged down the bartender to ask for the bill. I didn't know if the front desk guy had mentioned to him about the first beer being comped, so I asked him to please check with him. Foolish me. The bartender came back and said that, no, the first beer was not comped. Again, I was astonished at this guy's inhospitable actions. I think that maybe he meant the beer to be "on the house" at first, but later seeing that I was planning on paying for the 2nd beer, he decided he might as well charge me for that too. My other reasons for assuming the 1st beer would have been comped were: if he intended for me to pay for it, it would have been proper to ask if I'd like "something to drink" - not just "would you like a beer?" How does he know I even like beer? And proper follow-up questions would have been, "what kind of beer?" and "what size?" A bartender would ask all these questions when anyone wants to buy a drink. Why didn't he? Well, I assumed he was offering it "on the house" and I wasn't going to be fussy about a free beer and tell him what kind, and gro¿¿ oder klein. I paid for the beers and went to my room. The more I thought about this the angr

A great hotel in the center of Rostock, walking distance to the train station, the main shopping street and the old city. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Modern and stylish interior with all the amenities you need. The breakfast buffet was massive and of high quality.Ask for the upper floor rooms, large ceilings.
