Great location; can be in the old town square within 10 mins. There is a large supermarket 5 mins away which is always handy. ||Our room wasn’t in the main building but a 2 min walk from reception.  …

Stayed a night on the way back from Italy to Berlin. As we arrived we were asked if we have a car and were directed to the large hotel parking (free of charge). It's a great service of the hotel. We had two rooms. A double and a triple and we're very satisfied. The nice lady at reception gave us a map of the city and explained to us about free tours, main sights and as we visited the city we found her explanations very good. The service is great. The breakfast was very very good. Location is top. Right outside the hotel is the old city wall and you can claim the stairs and walk the wall on the way to the market square. It was really nice here and we will gladly stay again. Thank you

Really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in deluxe room, which seemed recently renovated. Room was comfortable and clean, plenty of space. Breakfast was very nice with lots of options. Convenient location with easy parking just outside the wall.

The best part of this hotel is its location. However, it does not meet the standards of a four-star establishment. The room is more suited for a three-star rating, and the bathroom is small and lacks a bathtub. On the positive side, the breakfast is quite good.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful town. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bathroom was nice and big. But the bath towels were too thin and worn out. Breakfast was good with many options of good quality food. And the dinning area was gorgeous. Wifi was very fast.The housekeeping person could have done better job to tidy up the bathroom.

The hotel is located near downtown. The receptionist are kind, and the food is good, though there isn't much variety. The rooms are outdated; my room didn't have A/C , making it awful in the summer because it was too hot. Additionally, the room smelled of humidity and was not very clean, I found spiderwebs 🕸 in more than one place. In general, it think it is important for the hotel to have an update.Tips: the reception is open until 23:00, soit's important to take that into account if you plan to arrive after that time. Additionally, you should ask if there is parking available at the hotel, as we didn't know and ended up paying in advance for a nearby parking lot 🙁.

Wonderful staff — helpful with restaurant recommendations and even a free bottle of water needed for taking some pills. The hotel is beautifully decorated and maintained, and has its own attached restaurant/brauhaus. The complimentary breakfast is very ample and terrific.

The hotel is located just outside the historic centre of the village. Some of the rooms offer very nice views of the town. It is big and has ample (free!!) parking. We had a family room that was spacious. …
