Muy recomendable.
Pros:

Lo que mas me gusto fue la amabilidad del personal. Estuvo muy atento y pudo solucionarnos todas nuestras dudas. Por otro lado, la localización del hotel es innegablemente ideal. Está situado en el medio de la zona peatonal y puedes acceder moverte perfectamente sin utilizar el vehículo. Además, hay que sumarle la decoración del hotel, que se ve que han cuidado al máximo detalle intentando mantener la esencia original de la construcción.

Cons:

Lo pero de que el hotel este en la zona donde está es que el aparcamiento, sin quedar lejos, no esta en el mismo hotel y hay que moverse un poco por calles empedradas. En nuestro caso no fue un inconveniente porque llevábamos mochilas, pero con maletas con ruedas puede ser difícil.

Charmante Unterkunft mit traurigem Frühstück
Pros:

Der Empfang war freundlich, die Dame konnte uns gut erklären, wie das mit dem Parkplatz funktioniert: man muss sein Autokennzeichen eingeben und die blaue Taste für einen Tag drücken, das kostet dann wirklich nur 4,50 €. Das Hotel passt sich seiner Umgebung wirklich gut an: es hat den gleichen mittelalterlichen Charme mit seinen knarzenden Treppenhäusern und der musealen Einrichtung. Es ist zwar recht hellhörig, aber nachts hört man dann doch nur die Kirchenglocken und später ein paar ferne Hähne. Wenn man dann morgens das Hotel verlässt, befindet man sich sofort in den mittelalterlichen Gassen, die um die Zeit noch angenehm leer sind.

Cons:

Das typische „kontinentale Frühstück“ wurde mit mehreren Sorten Kuchen und Keksen ergänzt. Dafür war die Obstauswahl sehr knapp, Ei gab es nicht und auch keine Soja- oder Hafermilch. Das ganze war auf Plastik-Tischdecken angerichtet.

Breakfast was great. The whole place was so.unique and historical. The entire staff was helpful and understanding. I especially liked the evening waiter and the receptionist on Monday morning who helped me get a taxi.
