There are two sides of this hotel. We were on the old side. I would ask when booking what side you’re in. Our bed was very comfortable and typical to most European hotels the room was not very large. The location is perfect!! Seems out of the way and quiet when you get there but you’re literally a very, very short walk to everything. Trolley stops are very close and a five minute walk to Rathausplatz. Would definitely stay there again.

The rooms were very nice and clean. Somehow, they need to renovate all the main floor space that exists between the old and the new hotel and make themselves a grand lobby with a nice bar.
