Very close to the river. Beautiful area. A little bit concerned about their check-in system and how they cut the key using simply a confirmation number only (anyone can guess someone else's based on your own) - the hotel may want to re-think that system.

Great location. Good size room for family of 4. They provide free water bottles and soft drinks, which is great. Room did not have air conditioner and did not have good ventilation. Romm has only one window which skis did not open completely, opened only 25% due to safety I guess . They did provide 2 table fans. But that was not enough on hot summer days of our stay . It was extremely uncomfortable.

The good; Historic building. Next to a the beautiful Franciscan church. The not so good: as a hotel, the facilities match the age of the building. There is no air conditioning it was a hot night, and we had to keep the windows open. The church bells Rand all night, at each quarter hour, and tolled out the hour. We were leaving the room at 11:10 am. The housekeeper, with her best Frau Blucher impression, reprimanded us for not leaving the room at 11 am.

We stayed here for two nights. Our experience was more like renting an apartment from a private person that a room in a hotel. The reception desk was not available at check in, and few times I needed something for my room maybe after 4 pm. Overall room was clean but everyone who rent a room should be aware of the church bells that go off every 15 minutes, even during the nights.
