Public parking was close. Hotel is right next to police station, city center, botanical gardens, and museum/palace. Heart of down town. Lots of good food around the area. Property staff were nice and accommodating. Cleanliness was ok. Gnats (small flying bugs) near fruit in breakfast area was not pleasant.

We chose Hotel Kaiserhof because we thought it would be only a couple of blocks from the Christmas market. Wrong. More like 40 feet. Service was outstanding, everyone was kind, informative and spoke excellent English. The room turned out to be a suite. Fairly spacious, modern and comfortable once these Floridians figured out the controls for hot water heat. Breakfast was the typical lavish German breakfast spread, plenty of everything. But the best part was the Christkindelmarkt, a totally different vibe from the international tourist town atmosphere of Strasbourg and Colmar. This was friendly, all local, not very big but a strong focus on local handmade products. Oh, and good festival food. And Gluehwein. And elaborately decorated stalls. And an appearance by Weinachtsmann himself, on a sleigh riding on twin cables 20 meters up! The kids loved it, including quite a few of the 70-year-old kids. A great experience!

Leider war das Bett für zwei Personen etwas schmal. Hier hätten wir anders planen müssen. Wir hatten leider ein Zimmer auf der Seite der Lüftung von der Tiefgarage. Das hat man leider durch die Fenster nachts etwas gehört. Aber schlafen war möglich. Sonst ein sehr gutes Hotel und ein sehr umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet
