Room was clean but not very exciting. You have to be very careful while you get up from the bed, otherwise you may get hurt with the wall.There was no balcony, so no mountain view. Evening receptionist Lady was very helpful. Location is good.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This property is a bit difficult to access for the mature travelers walking from the train station. The Barock suite, while fairly large was a bit austere and baroque for our tastes. The service staff was pretty loud when they did their work and the view from the room is a bit limited and unappealing. The central location in the Altstadt area was excellent, however, offsetting the less than positively aspects noted.

First of all, car navigation cannot find the hotel location, had to stop and ask people for the directions. Second, reception is in other hotel close by…. Rooms don’t have AC. Very complicated…..very expensive . The only positive side is the location of the hotel.

Stayed in the honeymoon suite with our two boys and parents and there was plenty of room however only one shower. The location is excellent - centrally located and very walkable. Hotel staff was nice and facility was clean. My mom was very happy to have fresh towels every day without asking. No AC and temperatures in the 80's, so an extra oscillating fan would have been nice, but not a deal breaker.
