"Lovely , modern hotel in a great location just on the edge of old town. It is a a bit of a walk to the castle if you have mobility issues but not an issue for us, as we like hiking/walking and the multi-lingual staff will assist with calling a taxi if needed. We had a junior suite on the top floor that has a balcony with a city view and it was perfect for 2 adults & a teen. Major plus was functional air conditioning in October!!! We stayed at other hotels in Germany & France that advertised air conditioning but then would not allow us to turn it on from our room during certain seasons. I highly recommend adding the breakfast on when booking - it was a great price for what you got. The breakfast was served in the rooftop bar area so it had a great view and had extensive hot/cold options (sausage, eggs, bacon, pastries, cereal, veggies, potato salad , etc). My only suggestion to management would be to add a second coffee machine - they only had one and it was having problems so there was a very long wait on some of the days."

"A once fabulous hotel started to age. While things are okay, many items could be repaired or updated. Lightbulbs vibrate and hum loudly in the room. One of them was so loud that I could not dare to keep on. Else the carpets in the elevator need replacement. The bath tub ranks in the most slippery category and felt dangerous, the shower curtain refuses to move, and the tub does not drain well. Calls to reception are not being answered and staff is absent during checkout causing 15min delays."
