Keystone Hôtel & Spa
My room was clean and bed was so comfy, great shower. The bus was round the corner and down the road there was the tram and a shopping centre. The staff were a standout.

Staff were available 24/7, room was clean and everything was kept to a standard you would expect for a 3 star hotel. Good location for Christmas markets!

Globe et Cecil Hôtel
Lovely economy room. Well decorated and comfortable. The room was extremely small and I habitually banged my arms getting in and out of the bathroom. There was no natural light as the window was obscured by a wall. It was cosy and snug ... even though there were inconveniences, I would still stay ...

The location is great- staff is lovely- hotel is charming. The room was a bit small and the shower even smaller. Aside from that- great overall.
