This property is a bit difficult to access for the mature travelers walking from the train station. The Barock suite, while fairly large was a bit austere and baroque for our tastes. The service staff was pretty loud when they did their work and the view from the room is a bit limited and unappealing. The central location in the Altstadt area was excellent, however, offsetting the less than positively aspects noted.

Stayed in honeymoon suite with a beautiful view of the city and river. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and enjoyed our stay. Thankfully there were fans in the room to keep you cool because no A/C. If you do some research ahead of time finding the hotel and check in location is easy.

There was no city View. We looked over dirty roofs. No air conditioning and the windows did not lock and no screens. I have been in many city hotels but the bathroom and shower were the smallest I had ever seen. We had to struggle up steps with luggage. The furniture old and newer were banged up and not nice. Certainly different from the pictures. Only one room has the photo of the outdoor seating. You enter through an alley where smokers like to linger. You check in at another hotel about 1-2 blocks away. Daniel, the front office manager is rude, argumentative and unhelpful

Mixed reviews for this

The hotel was in a great location- nice and easy to walk to several restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed that. However, there was no a/c, the WiFi never worked at all, and check in was at another hotel and then a short walk to our hotel. That meant if we needed anything, we had to walk to the other hotel.

First of all, car navigation cannot find the hotel location, had to stop and ask people for the directions. Second, reception is in other hotel close by…. Rooms don’t have AC. Very complicated…..very expensive . The only positive side is the location of the hotel.

Stayed in the honeymoon suite with our two boys and parents and there was plenty of room however only one shower. The location is excellent - centrally located and very walkable. Hotel staff was nice and facility was clean. My mom was very happy to have fresh towels every day without asking. No AC and temperatures in the 80's, so an extra oscillating fan would have been nice, but not a deal breaker.

Worst hotel I’ve stayed at! Sofa was full of disgusting stains, wifi did not work in the room, offensive art work, no air conditioning, small fans provided were far from adequate. Had to open the windows for ventilation and instead of fresh air was choked by cigarette smoke from the restaurant below, people talking loudly late into the night, restaurant workers banging glass and bins in the alleyway facing the bedroom window. Bed was old and thin. Could not sleep, zero comfort. Man at reception was also terribly rude to me because I asked for the Seriously worst experience

We stayed at the roof room which was very hot during night. We are not able to sleep. In the morning around 5:30 am loadin unloading voices of trucks started. The bed also very old and very noisy. In summer this roof room should not be sold to visitors.
