The Hotel am Rathaus is in an ultra-central location. The building is completely renovated and modernized (as most German cities can show buildings 200+ years old, if not flattened during WWII), architecturally quirky little pensions and hotels/B+B's that have been updated to a good standard and level of comfort. The rooms are tiny but they have all amenities one can hope for and even the tiny bathroom is so cleverly designed that space, or lack thereof, becomes a non-issue. The beds are super-comfy and the linen white-white and crisp. There's even a good sized "refridgerette" in the room - an unusual encounter even on an international budget chain level a very hard to find item these days, but hey - Germany has a reputation for coming up with thoughtful design in terms of usability plus esthetics for the eye.
The breakfast buffet is laden with a wholesome, tasty, fresh and substantial range that can easily stand up next to any gourmet Intercon buffet at a fraction of the price. Overall, I loved the Hotel am Rathaus for its excellent value and uncomplicated, warm and friendly staff.
