We used Hetzner in Germany, when I worked for a startup a few years ago, for some stuff which was getting too expensive on AWS, and which had to be located in Europe for certain reasons. A lot cheaper and reliability was good. We had many tens of servers there, at one point, at least.

Two years ago I was in the same situation, trying to find the best dedicated server hosting for the money. I found Hetzner the best and no any issue with them in the last two years.
Still using Hetzner for some of the services. They had some reliability issues in early days with servers randomly stopping or rebooting but not anymore. Cheaper than AWS definitely if you compare apples to apples.
We had the same issues (must have been around 5 years ago). Hetzner though exchanged the servers directly. At the end it was a bios issue with some rams which were incompatible, which was quiet hard to find out.
Another +1 for Hetzner, We have been using their GPUs and at the pricepoint of ~$100 per month, it's unbeatable. AWS/azure are all at least 3x that.
Using Hetzner for many years. Their unmanaged iron prices are unbeatable, and I haven't had any significant issues.

They also have a pretty decent cloud offering as well.
