Happy to come back!
Pros:

The room was very nice and spacious and the bathroom nice as well. We were upgraded for free to a quiet room facing the courtyard - much appreciated!

Cons:

The breakfast was too expensive and not at all worth the money. It would be nice if one could have just a cup of coffee and bread/croissant at a decent price. Also missed room service....

Gerne wieder.
Pros:

Sehr gute Frühstücksauswahl.
Sehr, sehr freundliches Personal an der Rezeption.
Für das öffentliche Parkhaus im Kellergeschoss, kann an der Rezption ein Tagesticket erworben werden, so dass man mehrmals ein- und ausfahren kann.

Cons:

Die warmen Frühstücks - Speisen (Rührei, Bohnen, Würstchen, etc.) waren lauwarm.
Im Doppelbett war die eine Matratze deutlich durchgelegen und nicht nutzbar.
