Great vibe
Pros:

Adorable little vintage style hotel. Room was very small but beds were comfortable. Bathroom was tight but had excellent water pressure. We enjoyed the fan in the room to help cool us down at night. Nice monogrammed towels. Walkable to downtown area. Breakfast was fantastic!

Cons:

Small room and small bathroom

Stadthotel mit kulinarischer Umgebung
Pros:

Das Hotel erstreckt sich über 2 moderne Häuser ( 6 Stockwerke). Ausstattung und Einrichtung wie in einem Business Hotel.
Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig ( leider: dir Rühreier sind nicht vom Hühnerei sondern aus der Tüte)
Ein Highlight war das in der Nähe befindliche Restaurant im alten Schafschlachthaus: leicht fernöstlich, sehr geschmacksintensiv, vielfältig.

It was fine, but way too expensive for what we got.
Pros:

Nice, older feel and charm. Good location. Wonderful breakfast. Liked the lobby and hang out space. Pretty view.

Cons:

Way too expensive for what we got. Room too small and way too hot with no air conditioning - Only a rattling fan. Loud construction outside. Clean but dated and a bit shabby when looked at closely. (for example the curtains were pulled back with a frayed rope.) The room was poorly laid out with chunky headboard totally blocking the wall lights that were supposed to be for reading in bed. No counter space in bathroom. Missed having an onsite restaurant and disappointed coffee, tea and water were not readily available. No pool or hot tub. Fire alarm (false) went off at bed time…apparently from shower steam?! Not enough places to hang towels.
