The hotel sits in a lovely small square in the Old Town with a great location, close to the sights and by the chapel bridge. The rooms are large and comfortable with comfortable beds and a nice, large bathroom but some are tiny with small windows that won't stay open. The service is friendly and responsive, especially Ania who provided a warm welcome and helpful travel pass for a discount. The location is amazing but can be noisy due to early morning activities. Dining experience is good, prices can be a bit high. The facilities are top-notch with various amenities available.

I found the hotel to be a charming spot overlooking the town Square, offering a nice view but with small, basic rooms. The service was somewhat inconsistent, with friendly staff but some lacking hospitality skills. The location was great for exploring the old town attractions but could get noisy early in the morning. The dining options were good but limited, making it a bit crowded during peak times.

I couldn't have asked for a better location; the hotel is right in the heart of the old city center, just a short walk from the train station. The rooms, set in a historic building across the Weinmarkt Square, exceeded my expectations with a king-size bed, fully equipped kitchen, and a bath including a washer/dryer. Little touches like finding an umbrella and a coffee machine made me incredibly happy. The service was top-notch, the staff continuously communicated to explain the check-in process and were always friendly and helpful. Dining options were good overall, although a bit on the expensive side with limited variety. The hotel's facilities were well-maintained and convenient, adding to a pleasant stay.

The hotel's location couldn't be more perfect; right in the heart of the old town, within walking distance to all the shops and eateries, and just a stone's throw away from the main train station. However, it might be a bit tricky to find by car due to it being in a pedestrian area.

The dining experience offered a decent selection of hot and cold food, but the prices were slightly on the higher side with room for improvement in terms of variety. While the experience was good overall, it could be more appealing with more affordable options.
