As part of a two-week trek throughout Germany, my son and I stayed at INNSiDE for 3 nights. Originally, we were booked into the Hotel Wolfsburg Centrum (the other Melia sister property) but we were surprised to find that hotel was temporarily closed and the note on the door advising guest that they have been rebooked to this hotel... we received no advance notice and this action keeps me from giving the hotel a 5/5 rating. As far as the hotel itself, it is ideally located in the central area of Wolfsburg, only a few hundred feet from the train station. Interior décor reflects Wolfsburg history with Volkswagen (which is the reason for our visit to the city). We request two twin beds in the room; the rooms were very clean, and the beds were comfortable. Our room came with plenty of towels and toiletries such as body wash and shampoo. There was plenty of hot water and water pressure in the morning. The room offers plenty of space to store luggage and clothing during your stay. The private bathroom offers divided usage which was great for sharing with family members. The only issue we had (apart from the surprising relocation) was that the air conditioning did not work and one morning awoke to workers opening a section of wall outside of our room to fix the problem. While during our stay there was no air conditioning, which as a North American visitor, is an expectation that is not found for most German hotels (even if the system is working). The TV cable only offers one English channel but that was fine. There are little options for breakfast in the immediate area (the McDonalds at the train station does not offer breakfast) so take advantage of breakfast at the hotel. Parking is available (cost) with the underground parking garage though I did not find access to parking via the hotel directly, it was accessible through an adjacent building. I had last visited Wolfsburg in 1999, long before the central hotels were built and a year before AutoStadt officially opened. Wolfsburg has greatly changed. While I am sad to see that Porsche Strasse is not the thriving shopping street that it once was, otherwise, the city is still a great spot for Volkswagen enthusiast. I would certainly recommend this hotel and this hotel would be my primary choice when visiting Wolfsburg... I just hope it happens before another 25 years passes by.
