Categories

Cleanliness
8.4
Generally praised as very clean in multiple reviews, though there are isolated issues (stains on a bedside table, a long black hair in a towel) reported by some guests.
Service
8.7
Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful (one assisted with rebooking a train); however several guests reported unhelpful receptionists and poor handling of problems, so service is mixed but on balance positive.
Location
9.6
Consistently highlighted as excellent — central position, steps from the old market/old town and main sights, praised in many languages as a key strength.
Room Quality
8.6
Rooms noted as stylish, comfortable and well furnished; some rooms are small and a few guests experienced noise issues that required room changes.
Amenities
8
Good communal decor and thoughtful touches (filtered water available), but practical amenities are problematic for some: underground parking access is tricky, the garage was reported out of order by one guest, ventilation noise and an ageing lift were also mentioned.
Value for Money
7.8
Several guests felt the hotel was a bit expensive for the level of services and noted a mixed rapport qualité/prix; overall value seen as slightly below expectations for price-sensitive guests.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Breakfast and F&B receive strong praise: excellent variety of cereals, yogurts, pastries, cold cuts and cheeses, good coffee; breakfast suitable for guests with dietary intolerances.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall a very positive stay driven by prime location, stylish hotel and excellent breakfast, tempered by parking difficulties, occasional service lapses and isolated cleanliness/noise issues.

Schönes Hotel, weniger schönes Zimmer
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in der Altstadt, aber dennoch ruhig in einem Innenhof.
Das Hotel ist sehr schön eingerichtet, gerade der Frühstücksraum und die Lobby laden zum Verweilen ein. Das dazugebuchte Frühstück war sehr gut.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war im Erdgeschoss und ziemlich dunkel. Aus den Fenstern blickte man auf einen asphaltierten, trostlosen Innenhof. Unser Badezimmer war eine Art "Nasszelle" ohne Begrenzung der Dusche, sodass sich das Wasser überall auf dem Badezimmerboden verteilte. Mitten in der Nacht war für längere Zeit ein lautes Brummen aus der Wand oder Decke zu hören, von dem wir aufgewacht sind.
Das Bett war extrem weich.
