5 stars for the staff and location and vibe. Beautiful city and quaint hotel. At around €100/night this hotel is a great value considering the location. Breakfast is continental and good enough.Before booking, be aware of the bar outside. The music plays loudly until maybe 1 am (you can feel the bass on the first floor) and people are outside talking. If you are sensitive to this bring a white noise app or earplugs or headphones as I don’t believe the hotel offers any earplugs.We parked at P12 (three minute walk from the hotel). Very convenient. We thought it was €10 per day but we paid €18.50 for less than 24 hours. Maybe the hotel has other recommendations. Most things in Germany have become quite expensive.Provided you’re okay with the music at night, this hotel is a great find and if we’re here again we’d come back.

NOT SUITABLE FOR WALKING DISABILITIES. The stairs are a nightmare. We had booked an upgrade which was on the 3rd floor, ended up on the second floor as could not climb anymore stairs. …

If I could give half ratings it would be 3.5!The goods - The location was amazing!! The staff was friendly and the breakfast buffet was yummy. The bed was also comfortable.The bad- the room decor is very dated. This may sound petty but everything was stained and old. If it just looked nice and old that would be different, but the carpet and chair were super stained and need replaced. Also, the stand for the tv was too small for the tv, the corner of the it was covered.Also, be aware that if you get the top floor it is 80 steps! This was a lot with a 3 year old to go up and down those steps.

Kind service and a good breakfast made us feel at home. Location was perfect to get in and out. It would be my greed if I expected the facility to be better than the money I paid. There was no elevator, moreover the stairs were very steep.But they brought heavy luggages to the room when checking in and even the lobby when checking out. The restaurant was cozy and the window with stained glass in the morning sun is very impressive.

We had four adults so we had the family room on the first floor at the front of the room. The room has beautiful views and feels very old world. The room was very large and is comfortable, with a nice bathroom. …
