Pros:

Das WLAN kann ich nicht Bewerten, da ich es nicht genutzt habe.
Ich habe ein Zimmer mit Rheinblick bekommen. Einfach ganz toll.
Das Frühstück war ausrreichend und das Personal freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Ich konnte mein Gepäck den ganzen Tag im Hotel deponieren, da ich in der Nähe gearbeitet habe.
Das hat wunderbar geklappt. Nochmals vielen lieben Dank.

Cons:

Nichts. Es war alles in Ordnung.

Schönes wohlfühl Hotel an top Lage
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Rhein ist super. Die Tramstation in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Rheinsicht, einfach herrlich und es war absolut ruhig in der Nacht.
Bequemes Bett und schönes Badezimmer mit grosser Dusche.
Das Frühstück war für mich optimal und die Brötchen knusprig frisch.
Wir kommen gerne wieder!
