The owner is slowly doing updating . The mgr is very accommodating and breakfasts is good.
Pros:

It’s old and quaint and in a great location! I’ve stayed multiple times and always, even though has some “old age” issues, always love it.

It was only one night so it was fine.
Pros:

The bed was incredibly comfortable.

Cons:

I had to track down someone to help me check in after waiting in the office for ten minutes. The guy that helped me was very nice but didn't have any help I guess. As for the price, we paid the high price because we waited until the last minute to book for Oktoberfest. I would NEVER pay even a fourth of that for the room on a regular weekend. Also, the bathroom was gross. Very unclean looking. To the point that my husband and I wouldn't even shower before we left. We just waited until we got home.

Pros:

Close enough to walk.

Cons:

Was pretty run down. Door had to be kicked open. Pillows and bed linens were very cheap feeling. Towels were small and thin. Staff didn't give fresh towels unless asked. Manager was very harsh when keys didn't work.

Pros:

Cons:

It’s very dated, the floor in the bathroom and around the sink was ok, I was afraid to walk barefoot on the indoor/outdoor carpet.

It was awful!
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Paid $100 more for a premium room with a jacuzzi tub and fireplace. Neither worked. Out of order signs. Ate a their restaurant. Worst German meal I ever had. The Weiner schnitzel was soaked in bacon grease as well as the potato pancakes. The only good thing was the beer. I would not recommend this to anyone!! This is the third bad result this year using Booking.com. Not sure I’ll be using your services going forward..
