The hotel is very central and within walking distance to the tram, shopping and restaurants. The front desk is extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was also good. Hotel, though, needs an upgrade with new carpets and room decor as well as reception area. Else a wonderful stay at the hotel.

Pros- nice location, room was clean, breakfast was decent, stuff helpful. Cons- hotel itself is very outdated. Big part of the Lobby room is dark and filled with stuff. Hotel has an access to the roof with an incredible view, but it is not in use for anything. Needed an iron, got it only on the second day. Water in the shower was not draining. And it is on the street with restaurants, so every night it was very laud from outside till 1-2am. I probably won’t stay here again unless there will be some renovations.

Wir waren das erste Mal in diesem Hotel und waren sehr zufrieden. Es ist sauber und die Zimmer sehr gemütlich. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend. Das Personal war wirklich sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es liegt sehr zentral und ruhig in einer Seitenstraße. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

GREAT BREAKFAST AND STAFF! Such a good location for tourists as it's in the heart of a bunch of attractions and steps away from the train to go to further locations. The staff were amazing, went out of their way to make sure our stay was great. Would definitely go back to the same hotel next time.
