Historic Charm & Great Location
Pros:

Our room was clean, spacious, and really comfortable. It overlooked a lovely inner cobbled street, which gave the place such a nice European vibe. I especially loved that the hotel dates back to the 16th century and has been so beautifully preserved. The FIFA World Cup was on during our stay, so it was fun being surrounded by the lively atmosphere at the pubs nearby, with everyone enjoying the games. One small thing to note is that, although we booked a triple room, our bathroom was an accessible one. It was a little unexpected initially, but it didn’t really affect our stay. The staff were warm and welcoming, and they even packed us breakfast when we had to head out early. However, we had requested a vegetarian breakfast, but the packed breakfast included ham, so that was a little disappointing. Overall, we had a really lovely stay! I recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

Pros:

Schön gelegen in der Altstadt

Cons:

Schlaflos entweder wegen dem Lärm von der Strasse (Fenster offen) oder wegen der Saunahitze im Zimmer (Fenster zu). Ohne Klimaanlage geht das nicht.
