If the very few parking spaces are full then you have to pay €18 to park in their car park, as there is nowhere else. The check-in took 30 minutes due to inadequate staffing and not even an apology. The room contained a marked carpet. Stained curtains and the roof terrace had weeds a cigarette butts. There is a buffet breakfast at €17 but i went elsewhere. My experience was the very antithesis of German hospitality and standards. On the plus side, the shower and room temperature were very good.

The hotel lobby is cramped.
It was close to famous tourist attractions, but public transportation was inconvenient.

Minor issues but recommended
Beginners at the reception suggested I haven't paid for the room when booked. I had to show the receipt. Although I booked for 4 ppl the room was clearly prepared for 3. The beds, towels for 3 not 4. Other then these minor issues it was alright and I still recommend this hotel.

Good location
The staff at the reception (during the night and breakfast) couldn’t speak English, so it was very difficult to speak and understand each other.

Quaint hotel close to the city center
Stay was great. Included breakfast was awesome, staff were very kind and helpful, would absolutely stay here again. Only thing to keep in mind is that parking is €17 a night. There’s free street parking across from the hotel if you can find it, but just be prepared to pay if you can’t. That being said we were able to find a spot easily.

The Niu Sparrow delivers a great value in a clean modern building. There is a convenient bus for reaching the old town, university, and larger city. The breakfast buffet is reasonably priced and runs until late morning on weekends. The rooms I have stayed in were spacious and comfortable.

Good for a day in Regensburg
The Hotel itself is modern and with a concept design. The people working in the reception and in the breakfast hall are okay. The cost of breakfast is pricey for what is offered. It would be nice if they vary the hot food served. The downside is the house keeping. They come late and so they just hand you with fresh towels,which is good anyway .But would be good that they do their part to clean. That is why people come to Hotels. Aside from staying they liked that their bed is done after a long day sightseeing outside.

Air conditioning system in the room is a bit noisy, but can be shutoff completely unlike some other hotels.
The windows are quite good in terms of isolating noises from the street .
