Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr zentral und direkt am Rhein hat man einen tollen Blick beim Frühstück. Es gab einen Ventilator auf dem Zimmer, der sehr geholfen hat bei den Temperaturen.

Cons:

Die Lage ist perfekt um die Stadt zu erkunden. zurzeit wird aber die Altstadt modernisiert, das heißt es gibt sehr früh Baulärm. Am Wochenende ist es außerdem bis 4Uhr morgens sehr laut durch die anliegenden Restaurants und Besucher. Da kann das Hotel nichts für, man sollte es nur wissen. Ich habe mich trotzdem sehr wohl gefühlt.

Pros:

Ein sehr schönes Hotel, mit toller Lage am Rhein und guter Erreichbarkeit mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln.
Gutes Frühstück und leckeres Abendessen.
Fliegengitter wären noch eine sinnvolle Ergänzung.

Cons:

Leider war gegenüber unseres Zimmers eine Kneipe, die von nicht gerade leisen Gästen besucht war, das hat die Sache etwas getrübt.
