Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located, just a few meters from several tram stops and a short walk to Marktplatz, offering easy access to the city center and historic areas. While the room was quiet, clean, and of average size, it felt a bit outdated with limited comfort features. The service provided by the cleaning staff was fantastic, with friendly and attentive personnel. The dining experience offered a wonderful buffet breakfast but seemed overpriced. Overall, the hotel's location is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the dining, while good, could be better in terms of value for money.
The hotel is ideally situated, close to the old town with a view, offering a variety of dining options nearby. The rooms, though a little tired and small, were cozy and featured Nespresso machines and quality toiletries. The service was excellent, with attentive housekeeping and valuable local recommendations. The outstanding location near attractions and neighborhoods makes it perfect for business travel, complementing simple and comfortable facilities. The dining experience exceeded expectations, with a diverse and delicious breakfast selection. Secure parking and proximity to a local brewery are added perks.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were warm and spacious with a balcony overlooking the Rhine, receiving all the morning sun. The service was exceptional, with staff cleaning the room early in the morning and promptly addressing any issues. The location was perfect, allowing for serene walks along the river and easy access to the city center. The dining experience was outstanding, offering a variety of delicious options. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
I found the hotel to be well-placed in the city center, offering fantastic free access to public transport with my stay. It had everything I needed and provided a good view of the river. However, the rooms facing the street could get a bit noisy during the evenings.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms, although cozy, were clean and comfortable. The terrace bar overlooking the river was a nice touch, and I appreciated the complimentary tapas during certain hours. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even providing us with a 24-hour streetcar ticket. The location is superb, right on the Rhine and near the charming Mittlere Brücke. Unfortunately, the dining options were limited and slightly overpriced.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms that are a bit noisy at times but provide a decent level of comfort for a two-star establishment. The service is friendly, although there is room for improvement to elevate it further. The location is great, close to shops and bars near the beautiful river Rhine, but can be tricky to access by car due to road restrictions. The dining experience meets expectations and includes a variety of options, but local bread is missing. Overall, the hotel is a decent choice for its level.
