My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very small and sparse, with a low and uncomfortable bed, but on the upside, they were quiet despite the bustling neighborhood. The service was top-notch, with super kind and lovely staff who were always ready to assist. The location was ideal, near the train station and Altstadt, but there was a disturbance in the morning from a loud ventilator. The dining experience was perfect with a nice variety of dishes, and the facilities were in a very good location, near the train station and Old City.

The hotel felt like a home away from home with its spacious apartment-style rooms, complete with a kitchen and balcony. The staff was exceptionally helpful and went the extra mile to assist with tours and tickets. The location was perfect, near the old town but in a peaceful part, and just a short walk from the main train station. The dining was simple but satisfying, offering a variety of charcuterie, cheeses, and breads. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was just perfect! The rooms were neat, clean, and comfortable, offering lots of storage and great lighting. The work desk even had a 'hidden' refrigerator, which was a nice touch. However, the room was tiny, really tiny, with barely enough space to move around the bed.
