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.

I loved the spaciousness of the room, it felt like having my own apartment with a kitchen and balcony. The only downside was the need for a tube to blow cold air in through the window.

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.
