10/10 Exceptional

Very good hotel near the Rhine
Andreas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and modern but on the expensive side.
Dinu, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was neat and clean and location is about 26 min walk to the Cathedral square. However, the available self parking was a bit expensive for 21 Euro for a night, especially this is not mention in the booking that the self-parking has an extra charge. But overall stay was great.
Fe, 1-night trip

Niels, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel in a good location

Really nice hotel. Nice welcome on arrival and small activity packs for the children. Good location for the river and chocolate museum and not too far to walk to the central area of the city (about 20 minutes). We stayed here for 4 nights in a heat wave (+35c), and the room stayed comfortable with the cooling/ventilation running. Ate one evening in the hotel restaurant - food was good. Great selection at breakfast. Would recommend!
