What an incredible place to stay. Our view was amazing and the room was perfect. I wish we had stayed longer just to sit in our room and look out the window. I absolutely love this hotel! The breakfast is beyond anything you could ask for and every single item was quality. Parking was easy. Unload your luggage at the hotel and it is a short drive from the hotel to park the car. This is a must stay hotel!

My husband and I, along with our kids ages 16 & 18, stayed at the hotel for one night during our road trip through Germany in May 2023. It’s been almost 2 years now and our family still talks about this hotel. We arrived later than expected but the staff were fantastic. They gave us a section right off of the kitchen. We absolutely LOVED it. We cannot wait to return and will be requesting the same sleeping quarters.

We enjoyed this hotel very much. Staff were friendly, rooms were clean and location was perfect. We left our car outside the walls in public paid parking lot and walked to the hotel, which is only 10 minutes. I believe hotel had a small parking lot behind but I preferred the convenience of not driving in tiny streets full of people. Breakfast was great, had many options- something for everyone. Breakfast area had a great view. Location was very convenient, in the middle of old town, we could take a break and come to our room when tired. Night watchman tour was 5 min from hotel which was perfect as well. Will stay here again if we come back to this beautiful city.

The good: Perfect location. Clean. Private parking lot, An included nice, fresh breakfast in a room with a great view. The bad: The hotel has the potential of being fabulous. The location is perfect, however the large rooms and spacious communal spaces are old, worn, stale and in desperate need of a facelift. Room: Our linens where different shades of tan from being used and bleached so often. One of the window curtains was ripped and hanging off the hanger. The 2 satin armchairs were stained. Water stained and worn bed-side tables and headboard. To empty the tub, it required my sticking my finger in the drain pipe to retrieve the rubber stop which was broken off the drain cover. No USB outlets to charge phones.
