Déçue par rapport à mes derniers séjours dans cet hôtel !
Pros:

L’emplacement, l’origine et l’histoire du bâtiment, le cadre dans la vieille ville

Cons:

Aménagement des chambres un peu vieillot y compris salle de bain. Le chauffage n’était pas en route en entrant dans la chambre pas plus que dans les corridors. Il pleuvait , il faisait 8 degrés à l’extérieur . Dommage , il suffisait d‘y penser avant la venue d‘un client !

Pros:

Very good breakfast, not a lot of choices but all of them were delicious. It was expensive, however.

Cons:

Long walk to get everywhere. If there was an elevator which took you down to BarfusserPlatz, we were never told about it, that would have been extremely helpful.

Exceptional views in the most convenient location.
Pros:

The breakfast was exceptionally good. A great, European style selection to start the day. The view from the room, directly overlooking the square and the Christmas market, was absolutely extraordinary. I believe only a couple of the superior rooms have this view, as our hallway had only a few doors in contrast the other main hallway. It was so worth booking these superior room. Extremely spacious and views beyond compare! :)
