Pros:

Nice feel about the hotel. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Breakfast was fine and breakfast staff polure and friendly.

Cons:

Bathroom: If you put on the bathroom light the whole schlafzimmer is lit up very brightly. Not so good when you go yo the bathroom in the middle of the night. Also, when the floor was wet it was very slippery (in the shower and when you step out). An extra hook for haning up a handtowel would be good.
Bedroom: No minibar, so we couldn't keep anything cool.

Great city hotel in a great location
Pros:

Great location - historic old town easily accessible (walkable) and a great base for visiting friends in the suburbs too.
Loved our room - compact but functional and (always a bonus) windows opened for fresh air!

Cons:

Everything was as we expected
