First time in Mönchengladbach :) but unfortunately I didn't have time to explore the city nor the surroundings. The first impression of the hotel was that it seemed a bit "old fashioned", but at least the room wasn't. Friendly staff at the front desk...But I do not understand why internet is not included in the room rate today, it should be offered free of charge by all hotels today, it costed 13€ pr. day.
I got a room on the 5th floor, just next to elevators but I didn't hear any noise, neither from guests.
A nice and spacious room with different seating areas. The bed was good and you could choose between 4 different fillings in the pillows, haven't seen that before ;)
A small working area but no plugs. The only place I found 1 (one!) plug was next to the bed used for the trouser press. A minibar with a small selection of snacks and beverages.
Compared with the rest of the room the bathroom was small, but it was ok. Lots of towels and a small heater below the wash basin. Tried to turn it on and soon it got very hot in the room, but have probably been nice during this cold winther. The only remark I have to the bathroom was the make-up mirror was placed rather high and could not be adjusted and when you not 6 foot tall, it wasn't that useful.
The breakfast buffet was nice, many different things to choose from and looked appetizing.
The room seemed recently refreshed and the interior decoration was light and pleasant. No iron board in the room, you have to go to ground floor to iron. 
A fitness room at your disposal located on the ground floor. Cardio machines and fitness equipment, so no excuse not to excercise.
