10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the hotel! The suite was spacious and it was very convenient to have a kitchenette. I was most impressed by the service. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. Luka was very friendly and polite. When, due to road closures, Bolt and taxis were unavailable, Jonas *offered* to drive us to the Festspielhaus! If it had not been for him, we would have missed the performance! Thank you, Jonas! The hotel is across the street from Lidl, which is very convenient for when one needs to stock the mini-fridge. It is also right next to a walk/bike path that leads to the Tierpark Röhrensee, which is lovely! It is about half a mile from the Wagner and Liszt museums, and another few blocks to downtown, with all the shops, baroque opera house, and restaurants."

"The only problem of this hotel is lack of blackout drapes. If you are a light sleeper, you will wake up with the sunrise. There is a lot of light in the rooms. Furthermore the hotel is pet-friendly so dogs can wake you up anytime. It is a pity because the beds are really king-size and very comfortable. Breakfast is till 10.30 only so we didn't try. Location of the hotel is perfect and parking is close."
