Stern am Rathaus
A small hotel well located, near the cathedral, the Ludvig Museum, the Philaharmonic, and the train station. Friedndly staff eagar to help are available from 6 AM to 6 PM.
There is NO ELEVATOR, There is no electrical outlet near a mirror. the first floor is one floor up.
The breakfast is on the ground floor and is excellent. The room is small, clean and well appoiiiiinted.
The TV is small and there is only one channel in english. Very expensive for what you get.
Ein kleines gemütliches Hotel mit familiärer Atmosphäre. Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter und ein traumhaftes Frühstücksbuffet. Sehr schnell vom Hbf aus zu erreichen, die Innenstadt und viele Restaurants und Museen sind in Laufweite. Trotzdem ist es nachts sehr ruhig, da das Hotel in einer kleinen Seitenstraße liegt.
The staff were very welcoming from the moment we arrived. We were invited to their social hour which included free drinks and Christmas biscuits. The room was excellent and had a kettle, which is unusual in Europe. We also had a fridge. Just around the corner from the nearest Christmas market, and just a 10 minute walk from the train station. Breakfast was excellent.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff in this small city hotel.
A wonderful little boutique hotel. Both Francisco and Carla (spelling?) went over and above to answer our questions about the history of the area and the hotel. Very comfortable, Very quiet. Superb breakfast !!!
The only negative is that there is no elevator. They will help with the luggage but it will be difficult with someone with mobility issues.
Thank you again for a great stay!
