Pros:

From the outside it's a stunning historical building right in the middle of the city center. The staff is very nice.

Cons:

The hotel on the inside looks dated. It needs renovation and upgrading. Our room was large, bed was fine, but no side tables. Shower dated. Carpet dated. I wish I could say differently, but not the best....

Pros:

Die Lage mitten in der Altstadt.
Die Historie des Hauses.

Cons:

Der Lieferverkehr für die umliegenden Restaurants am Morgen. Aber das hängt mit der Innenstadtlage zusammen. Haben wir vorher gewusst.

Enjoyable stop over. Would definitely come here again.
Pros:

Gorgeous building. Fabulous original historic detail. Very friendly and helpful staff. Right in the old town. Very comfortable night’s sleep. Quiet with the double glazing despite overlooking main square.

Cons:

Booking .com said no parking but nearby there was a public car park. We had done a free park and ride instead before we discovered this. Hotel website gives better details.

Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut. Das Hotel wird von den Stadtführern als Thema hervorgehoben. Von außen sehr sehr schön.

Cons:

Innen ist sehr viel extrem in die Jahre gekommen. Nichts in Stand gehalten oder renoviert. Beim Badezimmer darf man nicht empfindlich sein . Sämtliche Fugen total verschimmelt.
