Abhorrent privacy violation, unprofessional, rude
Pros:

Location was perfect! Just outside the cathedral.

Cons:

The owner/manager's conduct was outrageous and reprehensible. Starting with little things, there was no operating reception at any time. Which would have been fine if they provided two (physical) keys for two people, not one! Deceived with the official reception operating times, I went for the cathedral tower climb (my partner did not) and couldn't get back inside. There was an emergency number that nobody answered, which shows perfectly how much help you'd get in case of emergency. There was also a sign "I'll be back soon". In 80 minutes, it did not happen.

But the grand finale beats it all. The owner stormed in our room at 11:04. My partner just finished getting dressed while I was completing getting packed, hurrying not to miss the train. 2 minutes earlier, this creep would have seen my partner naked! No apologies for that disgusting behavior, on the contrary! Smug, arrogant "check-out at 11:00". When mentioned the reception was closed and I couldn't get in, I got "not my business" (or something along those lines). Obviously, their business is just collecting money. It was not just horrible and unprofessional, I find it dishonest, extremely rude, and violating our privacy. I know one may be inclined to be just outside the main attraction - but is it worth the disrespectful and unprofessional treatment?

Nice, clean, convenient but empty, lonely, if i may say.
Pros:

Location:perfect. Staff: non existing. We only saw a very nice guy when we took the keys. Otherwise, there was no one else in the reception. It's not like a hotel, it;s like a building with rooms.We got the key and we were in and out. We didn;t even see anyone else. But apart from that, it's very clean, it has its own character, it's convenient, like the room was spacious. The location is its biggest strengh, so i guess the price we paid was mainly for this.

Cons:

That you didn't have a 'hotel feeling"

Average.
Pros:

Not much., The bar was shut during my stay.

Cons:

The Frau charged me an extra 50 euros for keeping my luggage in the hotel for 3 hours. Daylight robbery and she was very rude. Shouting at me like a fish wife and totally out of order. I travel for business a lot and like to stay in traditional hotels not the corporates. This taught me a lesson and I hope never to experience this again.
