We would recommend to our friends and would come again
Pros:

I liked that we were staying at a historic building. I liked the public baths. They had a beer garden restaurant in the evening which was surprisingly nice, with beer and wine included. all the restaurants close early in the old town, so it was a good alternative to walking far.
It is quiet and close to everything.

Cons:

The tables and chairs in the beer garden are plastic which make it look and feel cheap.
The breakfast was not good for us. We had very few options. The scrambled eggs were very watery and they had only raw eggs (no boiled and wouldn’t boil when we asked). So we ended up paying a lot for white toast with butter and jam.
