Such a relaxed stay.
All the staff were so helpful and friendly - reception, breakfast, housekeeping.
Our flight was cancelled and the hotel gave us the same rooms for an extra night without any fuss.
We stayed here for two nights with our two young kids. The room was clean, tidy, and in a nice part of town, the restaurant was also tasty. The staff were welcoming, and friendly. We would stay here again!

Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and well staffed, meaning items were refilled quickly and efficiently. Location was perfect for us as a family - we came for the Christmas markets and the train car taking you around the four main ones was a few minute walk!
Pleasant place to stay, with a little bit of wear and tear in the room. We were in town for a convention and had a good stay - we would stay here again in the future.

The room was neat and clean and location is about 26 min walk to the Cathedral square. However, the available self parking was a bit expensive for 21 Euro for a night, especially this is not mention in the booking that the self-parking has an extra charge. But overall stay was great.
